No I havent, but it looks incredible! Thanks for another tip.

How do you use GUI apps with Docker? Do you have an X server (or equivalent) running on the Docker container that you connect to remotely?

I have never heard of LXC, thanks for the tip! Is LXC similiar to Docker where you need to configure the entire environment? When you use LXC for desktop software, do you always build from source?

If you do, what is your setup to run and maintain the containers? Have you experienced any problems that have been show-stoppers?

They seem like an attractive option in some cases, but I'm curious to hear how people use them for general computing.

This is really cute, reminds me of a Pokémon 🙂

Does anyone else sometimes feel overwhelmed by (big) games? in c/gaming@beehaw.org

Absolutely, it feels like so many big budget games made recently command 50+ hours of your time, or have really complicated mechanics that require note taking and maths to really enjoy. Those things are great, but man, just the thought of starting a behemoth like Tears of the Kingdom makes me anxious.
