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.

Ok I'm writing this thru Firefox (distrobox) and it works pretty well, no lag noticed.
The lag would be noticeable when you launch Firefox with stopped container (for example after reboot or manual stop).
Ok, I've tested this, I've noticed a lag of a couple of seconds for the first time I launched a distroboxed app.
Sounds about in line with what I'd expect. If that works for you where the flatpak doesn't, then it at least makes a viable solution for the short term (though I don't know how much overhead would be introduced). A minute of delay is ridiculously long for startup, so I still don't know why you were having that issue with the flatpak
