Love it! I've been evangelizing Distrobox in my lab. We do robotics and often have to interface with machines running outdated distros or outdated software. Distrobox has made it trivial to spin up containers running arbitrary versions of whatever we need, while keeping our host machines up to date. In fact, today I'm running hardware demos where I'm controlling an arm by dispatching commands through an ancient version of ROS that I set up with Distrobox.
