Is this easier/less invasive than flatpack?

I removed snap for this reason.

How is flatpak invasive?

It's pretty much the same from the outside; the difference is how the containers are built and managed. Flatpak uses OSTree with custom build scripts, while distrobox uses Dockerfiles and more standard packaging.

Oh, I meant snap was invasive. Also, wondering how distrobox compares to flatpak re "invasiveness."
