  <description>
    <p>
      Kontainer is a graphical user interface (GUI) application built with KDE Kirigami that
      provides a user-friendly way to manage Distrobox containers.
    </p>
    <p>
      <em>Container Management</em>: Create new containers from various Linux distributions, delete
      existing containers, upgrade containers and list and view all containers. </p>
    <p>
      <em>Terminal Integration</em>: Open terminal sessions inside containers using the system
      default terminal emulator and execute commands within containers. </p>
    <p>
      <em>Package Management</em>: Install package files inside containers and automatic detection
      of appropriate package managers based on container distribution. </p>
    <p>
      <em>Desktop Integration</em>: Generate desktop shortcuts for containers, full integration with
      the host system through Distrobox and color-coded container listing based on distribution. </p>
