Hi all,
I use a wayland Gentoo system, but I want to run Lutris for gaming. I would like to do this with at least some degree of filesystem isolation, as Lutris seems to install dependencies on its own and it pollutes the system in ways I cannot track.
What is the best way to do this? is it possible to do in a chroot? or mount namespaces? will it give me a lot of trouble?
It seems that merely installing things in a chroot and running it is not enough.
Flatpak can provide file system isolation, but not to the level of chroot. It provides a sandbox for things to run in and a way to distribute packages and dependencies. And it has a permission system to keep things in check. But with lutris, you may want to let it write to ~/Games/ or whenever you want your games at.
Maybe give the docs a skim for more details.
