In the following gist I'm going to guide you through the process of installing and booting an entire linux distribution with full desktop environment just like you would have with a classical VM, but with much better performance and much worse isolation :)

The reason why I did this was mainly because it's cool, but also to test new distros with decent graphics performance without actually booting them on my PC.

If you "try this at home" just keep in mind a container is not as secure as a VM, and some of the option we're going to explore will weaken container isolation from "a bit risky" to "totally unsafe" depending on what you choose.

Also, we're going to use systemd-nspawn for containers as it's probably the best fit for our use case and can also boot any linux partition without needing to prepare an apposite container image.

Less go!

Migrate WhatsApp from Android to iPhone (without root)

Description

After working around the clock searching for a way to migrate WhatsApp messages from Android to my brand-spankin' old iPhone X, coming across countless articles explaining that it was virtual impossible - especially without access to a Mac device, I thankfully came across a solution, and only felt it necessary to share.
I have tested this method using a Moto G Fast (Android 11), iPhone X (iOS 14.6), and Windows 10 PC.

Important Notes:

• Media files and shared locations will not be imported/migrated. They will be shown instead as placeholders.
