I just made an Erlang GUI "Hello World" in a Fedora 41 Toolbox.

$ toolbox create erlang

$ toolbox enter erlang

$ sudo dnf install erlang

$ erl -smp

1> wx:new().
{wx_ref,0,wx,[]}

2> M = wxMessageDialog:new(wx:null(), "Hello World").
{wx_ref,35,wxMessageDialog,[]}

3> wxMessageDialog:showModal(M).

A three-line Erlang program produces a simple "Hello World" GUI window in a KDE Plasma Linux desktop.

I used to spend time updating individual Toolbox instances with apt or dnf. My new method is to nuke ALL OF THEM and the images that made them and start from scratch with new images on a fairly regular basis.

Still wondering if I shouldn't just layer Distrobox and make my life (comparatively) easier.
