From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I really want to make a bashrc function that I can call from the Gnome Terminal that will cd into a directory, then enter a distrobox container, then enter a conda environment, then launch a python script. (doing AI stuff and have many coexisting dependencies), I want a function because I would like to pass arguments to alter all 3 levels.

The distrobox "-- commands" doesn't seem to work for this. Like these commands do not launch inside the terminal that called distrobox. I need the output of these commands in the original terminal, and I need the visual confirmation that each command has run correctly like the conda (env)user$ I typically get for running conda activate and the PS1 changes I have setup for each distrobox container. How can I run a bash function/script that emulates the behavior of the Gnome Terminal when a user enters each of these commands sequentially?

I haven't heard of it before, but I just read its page on the Arch wiki. I definitely have a use for that one to assign CUDA variables.

Still, I would like to better understand what is really happening in the gnome terminal and emulate its behavior
