Toolboxes
- BoxBuddy - A GUI manager for your Distroboxes, made with GTK4 and Libadwaita.
- Toolbx - Tool for containerized command line environments on Linux
- Toolbx Tuner - Toolbx Tuner is a tool to improve the experience with toolbx.
- Toolbx Images - Community maintained container images to use with toolbx (Check these out if you need other distros outside the default Fedora ones)
- toolbox-images - a collection of container images for usage with the toolbox command. This is an attempt at providing more feature parity with regard to toolboxes for distributions other than Fedora.
- Toolbox GUI - A graphical interface for interacting with Toolbox, written with GTK3 and Python
- Distrobox - Tool for containerized command line environments on Linux, distribution agnostic, supports a wide variety of containers , works both with podman and docker - This is a great tool to start with on your existing distro to learn working with day-to-day container workflows.
- nsbox - Pet container manager based on systemd-nspawn and supporting DBus and desktop files.
- unbox - New (a little bit experimental) implementation of a toolbox that does not rely on existing container engines like `podman` or `docker`, instead opting to use Linux namespaces directly to improve performance.
- coretoolbox - Toolbx alternative in rust with a focus on container builds. (Older project, appears unmaintained, but if I don't include rust stuff people will get upset :smiley:)
- folderbox - Folder based containers that isolate project environments with escapes to the host for development.
- apx - The default package manager for VanillaOS, utilising Distrobox to manage containers for various distros on the user's behalf.
Core Tools
- podman - Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers on your Linux System.
- gnome-shell-extension-containers - This neat extension lets you see what containers you have, start/stop/restart, pause, and shell into them right from the notification area.
- Podman Desktop - Manage different container engines from a single UI and tray icon
- Podman desktop companion - graphical management of your desktop containers
- Pods - a podman desktop application (formely known as Symfony)

Lower level tools
- libostree - Operating system and container binary deployment and upgrades
- apt2ostree - apt2ostree is used for building Debian/Ubuntu based ostree images. It performs the same task as debootstrap/multistrap but the output is an ostree tree rather than a rootfs in a directory.
- Endless OSTree Builder - Stripped down Endless ostree builder for Debian
- ABRoot - A utility which provides full immutability and atomicity to a Linux system, by transacting between two root filesystems. Updates are performed using OCI images, to ensure that the system is always in a consistent state.

- bootupd - Distribution-independent updates for bootloaders.
- Elemental Toolkit - A toolkit which allows container images to be bootable in VMs, baremetals, embedded devices, and much more. Elemental and derivatives share a common feature set, can be upgraded with a A/B mechanism, and upgrades are delivered with standard container registries.

- Upcoming experimental features in rpm-ostree
- flatpak-ostree-dedup-stats.py - script to show you how well the ostree deduplication is working, this one is neat
