## What it is
Conty is an unprivileged Linux container packed into a single portable executable, based on Arch Linux and compressed with squashfs or dwarfs. It bundles gaming and Wine-related tools like Steam, Lutris, Bottles, and Wine-Proton-GE, and runs on most Linux distros without root rights.

## Use cases
- run Linux games and applications in a portable container without installing anything
- run Wine and Proton games on any Linux distro without root
- use Steam, Lutris, or Bottles on a Steam Deck or old distro
- run 32-bit applications on a pure 64-bit Linux system
- carry a full Linux app environment on a USB stick
- sandbox applications with filesystem and X11 isolation
- try modern software on distros with outdated or no glibc

## When to choose
- you need a zero-install, portable, single-file Linux container
- you want to run games or Wine apps on unsupported or old distros
- you lack root privileges on the host system
- you use a Steam Deck or mixed-glibc environments like Alpine or Void

## When to avoid
- you need lightweight, minimal containers with custom images (use Docker or Podman)
- you need orchestration, networking, or multi-container deployments
- you require strict security isolation for untrusted workloads
