Do you create a toolbox (or equivalent) to modify your interactive shell for all those nice little shell commands/programs? Seems like a pain in the ass to have to launch your terminal from a terminal (toolbox --enter whatever, just to have (doom) emacs, fzf, fdfind, qalc, nnn, zoxide etc etc) just to have a comfortable terminal?
I just set mine up to always go into the toolbox image and then I have all the tools I have in there, that way it’s transparent and fast, you shouldn’t even notice that it’s there.
so you can set the launcher to just launch the toolbox image instead of the regular terminal? And it has access to usual ~/ directories? I wouldn’t be using for development, just regular usage. I am a heavy terminal user for normal desktop stuff though
Yeah, here’s the instructions I use: https://distrobox.privatedns.org/useful_tips.html#using-distrobox-as-main-cli
super helpful, thanks!
This is the way I set it up or you could have any terminal that supports a custom command on launch do it: https://distrobox.privatedns.org/useful_tips.html#using-distrobox-as-main-cli
