I’ve been using distrobox at work (on RHEL 8, Fedora 16 based) for a while, but the containerization tech (it uses podman) does seem to introduce some extra latency, which is especially painful when using CLI tools such as zoxide, eza and bat.
I’m in the process of switching to Nix, which should have native performance, the largest number of packages, and guaranteed reproducible, deterministic versions.
It was freely chosen for simplicity.
If you choose another R, the other sides (x and y) become R*cos(th) and R*sin(th)
I don’t understand what is harmful about the unity circle either.
