Installing-Autodesk-Maya-2027-in-a-Distrobox
WARNING!!
This is guide is more of a proof of concept than a guide. I am very new to distrobox and containers and I bet I missed some neuances of
how distrobox works to potentially make the installation process or gpu integration easier. Feedback is encouraged. Please comment on this
Github Gist so I can learn how to make this process nicer for everyone.
Eventually I want to make a containerfile for installing Maya into, but that may come later. In the mean time, you can do it yourself!
1) install an X11 desktop, for the distrobox you will only be able to use Maya in an X11 desktop
a) you may need to install xhost as well for connecting to the X-server
