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.

How can I run Xorg (with wine or Lutris) with filesystem isolation? (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

I use a wayland Gentoo system, but I want to run Lutris for gaming. I would like to do this with at least some degree of filesystem isolation, as Lutris seems to install dependencies on its own and it pollutes the system in ways I cannot track.

What is the best way to do this? is it possible to do in a chroot? or mount namespaces? will it give me a lot of trouble?

It seems that merely installing things in a chroot and running it is not enough.

I do this using lxc, all my environments are different, debian base, arch gaming and some browsing, Ubuntu for work, etc.

Look at lxc-create -t download

Then you just add permissions for the child os to access the x11 and dri and it's gorgeous.
