[Discussion] Distrobox Presets

Hi there, I was randomly thinking it might be a fancy thing if BoxBuddy might provided some sort of "preset" distroboxes. Like I have a few distrobox.ini files for various purposes.

One for Rocky Linux 8 and required dependencies to install and run DaVinci Resolve within it.
Next I also have an ini file for an AppImage box because at least openSUSE does not come with libfuse and fuse2 by default for AppImages to work plus various extra packages to run Desktop applications in the otherwise slimed down container images. Considering that AppImages often require out-dated libraries I feel like others could use a distrobox to run AppImages instead to run them on their host directly too.
Another one is an Arch Linux ini file for faster setup to make use of the AUR on none Arch distros. Which installs the various packages required to install AUR Helpers and make them work properly.
And of course the distrobox development box 😄 and a ini file for all other dev stuff I sometimes do.

While there is the assemble feature which is already good for these boxes I thought maybe we might add some "presets" directly to BoxBuddy? Maybe in a form of an setup assistant instead by distributing ini files? As INI files are rather rigid. While we could make perfect assumptions on what distro image the user would need and which packages for let's say Resolve. We couldn't make assumptions on whether the user uses an nvidie gpu or requires additional volumes to access external devices with video files on it and such with just the INI file.

But also while writing these lines I feel like it is out of scope for this app and users might use assemble files anyway? Plus it would require someone to keep track of these boxes and that they function properly not only today but also tomorrow. 🤔

Idk what do you think?
