      Probably nixos to run distrobox with fedora, then using podman to run debian to compile the C application.

      Well, first I tried compiling it on my own distro (which isn’t listed in the image). Then I tried compiling it with the help of nix-shell (that’s the NixOS logo).

      Then I figured, fuck it, let’s just launch a whole container for compiling, so I tried the distros listed in the official documentation (Debian and Fedora), which, you guessed it, didn’t work either.

      This is a hobby project that I’m trying to compile, so this definitely won’t be the best showing of C, but still just astronomically more painful than it should be…

      The gophers are https://podman.io/ which builds and runs containers. My guess is they are building the same application in multiple distros for their one application

      Like

      my-app-nix my-app-fedora my-app-alpine

      It’s a common practice so users can choose the distro they prefer when launching your container in their stack.
