Could you build this?

Partial The CLI wrapper and basic systemd-nspawn invocation can be vibe-coded, but managing seamless multi-distro root filesystem lifecycles, user namespace UID mapping, and Wayland forwarding is complex systems engineering.

What it would actually take: The stack involves Go or Rust wrapping Linux systemd-nspawn, libmount, subuid/subgid management, and Waypipe socket forwarding. The hard parts are seamless host file permission mapping, networking NAT/port forwarding, and ensuring rock-solid container isolation and image signing without breaking systemd dependencies across heterogeneous distros.
