** There is not a desktop environment running inside of distrobox. **

By default, Distrobox does not load a full desktop environment (DE) when you
run a container.

Its main purpose is the opposite: to deeply integrate applications from the
container into your existing host desktop environment.

How it works:

Host DE: You run your normal desktop (like GNOME, KDE, etc.) on your main
(host) operating system.

Enter Container: You run "distrobox enter my-container" and get a terminal
prompt for the containerized OS (e.g., Ubuntu).

Run GUI App: If you install and run a graphical application (like firefox or
gimp) from within that container's terminal, Distrobox automatically forwards
its display (using X11 or Wayland) so the app's window appears on your host
desktop, right alongside your native host apps.

You don't see a "desktop within a desktop." You just see the single application
window.
