Yes, though PRoot relies on syscall interception using ptrace(2), which is inefficient (which may or may not be a problem, depending on the application). > I am using kernel 4+, which supports namespaces. Yes, but some distributions compile it out or turn it off by default. See <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/scripts/environment.scm#n517>, for a way to check whether user namespaces are enabled. > This reminds if there is any effort to provide a lxc container for > guixSD. Not that I know of, but I don’t think it would help the non-root use case. Ludo’.
