In the following gist I'm going to guide you through the process of installing and booting an entire linux distribution with full desktop environment just like you would have with a classical VM, but with much better performance and much worse isolation :)

The reason why I did this was mainly because it's cool, but also to test new distros with decent graphics performance without actually booting them on my PC.

If you "try this at home" just keep in mind a container is not as secure as a VM, and some of the option we're going to explore will weaken container isolation from "a bit risky" to "totally unsafe" depending on what you choose.

Also, we're going to use systemd-nspawn for containers as it's probably the best fit for our use case and can also boot any linux partition without needing to prepare an apposite container image.

Less go!

Void Linux installation (on NVMe with trim enabled, with BTRFS filesystem, with Full Disk Encryption using LUKS, with swapfile)

This gist could be outdated, so if you prefer an automated script based on this gist, check out my github repo VoidLinuxInstaller!

Features

This guide explains how to set up Void Linux:

On an NVMe disk, enabling trim;
Using Full Disk Encryption including /boot, with LUKS;

NONE OF THESE CLIENTS ARE VERIFIED BY ME FOR SECURITY OR ANYTHING ELSE! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

These are the current alternatives (with links when possible):

NewPipe (which you should have either way for youtube-dl/yt-dlp integration)
NewPipe fork by polymorphicshade, which includes SponsorBlock support.
LibreTube (still in early beta)
A web browser with uBlock Origin (or another ad-blocker; Enhancer for YouTube has one build-in, but uBlock is universal and more powerfull, in addition to allowing to also remove non-advertisement parts of the website, like the top shelf with recommended tags / search querries), Enhancer for YouTube, SponsorBlock and [Return YouTube Dislike](https://

NixOS on Fedora

Please note that these instructions are not offically supported or condoned by Nix and are not guaranteed to always work, but from my testing everything seems to work perfectly fine.

These steps may not be required if NixOS/nix#2374 is resolved.

SELinux

These commands are required for both Fedora Workstation and Fedora Silverblue

Installing Debian

prepare storage

prepare

create a memory storage for secure files

mkdir -p /prepare

This (and related gists) captures how i created my docker swarm architecture. This is intended mostly for my own notes incase i need to re-creeate anything later! As such expect some typos and possibly even an error...
