From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Distrobox on Fedora Silverblue.
More precisely, uBlue. It came pre-installed there and I quite like it.
Toolbx is more of a "use it to install command line dnf-packages on SB", while Distrobox is way more capable.
I can have any distro I want as container and export graphical apps and binarys.
The link for uBlue didn't work for me. For those interested: uBlue
