    Run a Gentoo Prefix maybe? You get portage and can install customized packages like one does, without risking the system.

      Interesting. Why not use systemd-nspawn? From what I understand, the kernel is shared anyway.

        I don’t think a Gentoo Prefix is anything but an environment directly on the host, it’s not containerized in any way. For me its for a system where the package manager is a bit outdated or I need to patch it, then installing with portage by a Gentoo Prefix helps me do that.
