Which distro/image to use for distrobox where you just want to install tools?
The immutable state of distros like fedora silerblue and opensuse microos leads to the use of distrobox.
I defaulted to a fedora image but there must be better images for the job. What do you suggest to use if you just want to install pdflatex, pandoc, R, julia, python, ffmpeg, etc. Just the usual tools you need for the tasks everyday

My go-to is an arch container just because I like to have rolling releases, access to AUR, and I like pacman. I wouldn't overthink it though. If the fedora container works for you, then it's fine.
