Now that I have Endless running…I had a couple of questions or inquiries.
Since Endless uses the Gnome desktop, is there a way to install Gnome applications that are not flatpaks? Like gnome-tweak-tool or gnome commander.
Also, is it possible to configure workspaces to switch to?
Douglas
The Endless OS is only compatible with Flatpak Applications. At the moment GNOME Tweak and GNOME Commander doesn’t have a Flatpak version

You can install using the toolbox command. The Toolbox is a tool that offers a familiar RPM based environment for developing and debugging software that runs fully unprivileged using Podman. I recommend reading the toolbox command documentation using the command toolbox --help or toolbox/doc at main · debarshiray/toolbox · GitHub
Create a new toolbox container using the command:
toolbox create
To run the toolbox use the command:
toolbox enter
To install GNOME Commander use the command:
sudo dnf install gnome-commander
To run GNOME Commander use the command:
gnome-commander
These articles will provide more details about it:
Thank you for your response…I’ll try it out.
So is toolbox similar to vm or docker?

The Toolbox is a tool that offers a familiar RPM based environment for developing and debugging software that runs fully unprivileged using Podman. What is Podman? Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers on your Linux System. Containers can either be run in rootless mode. More details here.
