TiffinBox is a user friendly platform designed to simplify the management of Distrobox containers, similar to Docker desktop. It streamlines the process of creating and managing Distrobox containers, eliminating the need to memorize CLI commands for common tasks.
Distrobox is a CLI tool that allows you to run multiple Linux distributions in your system without the need to dual boot or install them in a virtual machine. The upside to using this over directly spinning up a Docker container is that the created container will be tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the user's HOME directory, external storage, external USB devices, graphical apps, and audio.

Managing Distrobox containers through the command line can be a headache, especially if you don’t want to remember a ton of commands just to get things working. TiffinBox solves this by giving you an easy-to-use interface that makes container management as simple as a few clicks. Whether you’re a developer juggling multiple Linux environments or just curious to explore different distributions, TiffinBox takes away the complexity and lets you focus on what you actually want to do.
