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.

    I do this using lxc, all my environments are different, debian base, arch gaming and some browsing, Ubuntu for work, etc.

    Look at lxc-create -t download

    Then you just add permissions for the child os to access the x11 and dri and it’s gorgeous.
