DistroRack – Qt/QML-based GUI for Distrobox containers

DistroRack is a Qt/QML application that provides a graphical interface for creating and managing Distrobox containers on Linux.

It is designed to make container workflows more accessible from the desktop, letting users handle common Distrobox tasks through a native GUI while also making it easier to expose applications installed inside a container to the host system.

This is free and open source software.
