Setup some Distroboxes

Arch: very useful for rare software. Installing yay along with it.

distrobox create Arch -i docker.io/library/archlinux:latest && distrobox enter Arch
sudo pacman -Syu -n
sudo pacman -S -n --needed base-devel git
mkdir ~/Arch && cd ~/Arch && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si && yay --version && rm -f yay*.tar.zst yay*.gz PKGBUILD

Question: they install yay as sudo and need to reassign permissions. For a binary program that was not needed, but maybe it is for regular programs?

Yay with sudo

distrobox create Arch -i docker.io/library/archlinux:latest && distrobox enter Arch
sudo pacman -Syu -n
sudo pacman -S -n --needed base-devel git
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-git.git
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./yay-git
cd yay-git
makepkg -si && rm -f yay*.tar.zst yay*.gz PKGBUILD
sudo yay -Syu

this seems quite to be alot, won't this be too intrusive for the user?

I made a repo for that with guide commands.
