Bubbles

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
