@lemmyrolinga@lemmy.ml I second Bitflip’s comment.
F-droid repos are amazing and a must-have, but the default F-droid front-end is not the most user-friendly.
I have been very happy with the Droidify front-end, as have other F-droid users to whom I recommended it.
You can get Droidify using F-Droid, of course.
I’ve been using distrobox at work (on RHEL 8, Fedora 16 based) for a while, but the containerization tech (it uses podman) does seem to introduce some extra latency, which is especially painful when using CLI tools such as zoxide, eza and bat.
I’m in the process of switching to Nix, which should have native performance, the largest number of packages, and guaranteed reproducible, deterministic versions.
