toolbox is preinstalled on fedora silverblue/kinoite whereas distrobox isn’t. What’s the advantage of one vs the other? Why is toolbox preinstalled and not distrobox?

edit: thank you guys! I guess for me this means that I’ll use distrobox because it’s much more mature or documentation is a little bit better and I do not need (or have) fedora’s support

    Toolbox is simple solution to install some software in unmutable distros. It works OK.

    But when you do more complex things, for example some Debian container to install some deb software, both will work, but Distrobox has more functionality, one of the coolest is to separate your HOME from containers HOME, toolbox can not do it.
