Do you create a toolbox (or equivalent) to modify your interactive shell for all those nice little shell commands/programs? Seems like a pain in the ass to have to launch your terminal from a terminal (toolbox --enter whatever, just to have (doom) emacs, fzf, fdfind, qalc, nnn, zoxide etc etc) just to have a comfortable terminal?

    probably a terrible answer but on nixos i just add the packages to my config, which does technically apply because it’s also an immutable distro

    I just set mine up to always go into the toolbox image and then I have all the tools I have in there, that way it’s transparent and fast, you shouldn’t even notice that it’s there.

    I use Silverblue. I also use distrobox which can “export” apps from the container to the host. This way I can just type nvim in the host and it’ll go into the container and start nvim there.
