NSL brings WSL-style nested Linux distros to Linux

NSL is a new command-line tool that lets Linux users launch a login shell into any of seven prebuilt distros—Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS Stream, Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed and Leap—with a single command. The tool mounts the host's home directory, keeps the user's UID, GID and passwordless sudo, forwards network ports, and passes through Wayland windows to the desktop. An --isolated flag can instead run a distro in its own VM with no access to host files or desktop actions.
