Xephyr is a nested X server that runs as an X application.

If you wish to run a nested X window, you will need to specify a new display:

$ Xephyr -br -ac -noreset -screen 800x600 :1

This will launch a new Xephyr window with a DISPLAY of ":1". In order to launch an application in that window, you would need to specify that display:

$ DISPLAY=:1 xterm

If you want to launch a specific WM, spectrwm for example, you would type:

$ DISPLAY=:1 spectrwm

You can also launch Xephyr with your xinitrc using startx:

$ startx -- /usr/bin/Xephyr :1

Grabbing and un-grabbing user input: Pressing Ctrl+Shift should lock/unlock your mouse pointer and your keystrokes inside Xephyr window exclusively if possible.
If using KDE, create a window rule to ignore global shortcuts. Then you can use Alt+Tab inside Xephyr.

Tips and tricks: Other examples for situations where Xephyr can be useful are:

1. A testing environment for an X application, or feature, in which the tester would like to keep working in their usual X environment, yet defending the other applications from failures of the application under test.
2. OpenSSH#Remote emphasize 3 settings in the sshd server configuration file for OpenSSH#X11 forwarding (over ssh). 2 of these, out of 3, are the default settings. When the ssh client can not influence the ssh server administrator to set the 3rd one, X11Forwarding, to yes, Forwarding X11 over ssh uses Xephyr as a work around to be installed in the ssh client machine.

Distrobox is a container wrapping layer that allows the user to install containerised versions of Linux that are different to the host while providing tight integration with the host allowing the use of binaries designed for one distribution to run on another.
Distrobox itself is not a container manager and relies on Podman or Docker to create containers.
BoxBuddy is a gui for it.
