About
Bubbles: Lightweight Linux working environments with seamless Wayland and Networking integration
Includes and starts a Gnome Console (kgx), but that is just the adjustable default
Quick, yet Full-featured:
- Starts an instance in just a few seconds
- Access to a real Debian installation
Persistent, yet Disposable:
- Run long-living environments: Separate distinct contexts persistently, while not cluttering your host
- Run quick experiments: Do not break your host, break your Bubble and discard it
Integrated, yet Isolated:
- Wayland windows are managed on the host compositor, Networking is transparent
- Using sub-sandboxing plus strong KVM isolation boundary
Powerful, yet Unprivileged:
- Run containers effortlessly within a Bubble
- Bubbles runs as sandboxed, least-privilege Flatpak on any modern Linux (Opinionated distributions like Fedora Atomic and NixOS included)
Immutable, yet Mutable:
- Includes Nix to enable version-controlled, reproducible work environments
- If Nix is too strict, fall back on Debian's apt or install any other package manager
Permissions
