From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can get the scripts and use them directly. See https://www.idrive.com/readme for details. You don't need Distrobox or anything else.
I have this working on Fedora no problems. Also their customer service is fully supportive and able to answer questions regarding Linux if you need help too, they may even alter the scripts for you if it isn't working on Nixos if you ask nicely.
Yeah I think it works on Fedora ok. I spoke to customer service, but they told me I was out of luck with Nixos.
Glad to see you found a solution then that works.
To use the native scripts I guess you'd probably have to package it correctly to work with Nixos as it needs Perl which I didn't consider earlier.
