Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. so, if i want to install something such as vmware workstation on distrobox, the modules won't work, therefore no vm will run reason to use vmware on distrobox instead on host is because

  1. i don't want to deal with reinstalling modules manually everytime i update the kernel or vmware
  2. to be able to use vmware on immutable systems

Describe the solution you'd like a way or a command to link the distrobox modules to host

Describe alternatives you've considered running vmware on host, and reinstalling the modules everytime you update the kernel or vmware
