I think you are saying that distrobox on Fedora based system can create a ubuntu/mint/whatever "subsystem" and inside that distrobox it is as though you were in ubuntu/apt environment?
Yes, and the difference compared to docker/podman, is that a lot of things like networking, gpu, audio, shared memory, etc, are passed through automatically by default. So you for example can build/run games inside those containers and expect native performance.
