I have created a snap for Distrobox which is a tool similar to Fedoras Toolbox. With this together with a working Docker or Podman installation, it is quiet easy to use the package manager of any distro in your terminal, even on Ubuntu Core. There are problems when using the Snap version of Docker though…
Installation:
sudo snap install --beta distrobox
You need to either install docker or podman on your system. While the snap version of docker is functional with Distrobox, it can’t access files in your HOME directory.
Description from upstream:
Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Distrobox uses podman or docker to create containers using the Linux distribution of your choice. The created container will be tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the HOME directory of the user, external storage, external USB devices and graphical apps (X11/Wayland), and audio.
