[Discussion] Podman inside Distrobox

[danishprakash]

In the section "Using Podman inside a Distrobox" and before #1597 was merged, the --root flag wasn't present which to me translated into state errors while trying to run rootless podman inside distrobox.

But given that PR was accepted, I'm looking for confirmation whether the previously documented method was ever considered to be working. Put another way, did rootless podman inside rootless distrobox ever work? From what I can tell, it would've been difficult since having a single storage backend for two rootless podman instances sounds tricky.

We've seen issues because of this for users who followed the docs and came up with state errors. FWIW, I was able to reproduce the same with ubuntu and fedora.
