[Request]: Add the option to choose a custom home directory for a Distrobox instance

[SimplyTadpole]

Tell us the problem or your need

From what I heard, distrobox supports creating an instance with a custom HOME directory, which is useful if the user wishes to keep the distrobox instance's contents separate from their host system, as otherwise everything will be dumped onto their main Home directory and cause a messy clutter.

As someone who likes keeping their filesystem organized, such a feature is incredibly useful to me and I would like to make use of it, but unfortunately, from what I gathered, it seems this isn't available as an option in Atoms.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would it be possible to add an option to specify a custom HOME directory in Atoms when creating a distrobox atom?

Other solutions?

No response

Additional context and references

While I understand that Atoms is not intended to be a proper tool for managing Distrobox instances, it is the only tool that is able to do the job in a way that isn't overwhelming. Pods appears to be a quite complicated tool for most non-technical users to make use of if they happen to wish to have this functionality, and it's also a bit disheartening to have to resort to the command line to have this option as well. So I ask you to at least please consider implementing this, as it's likely not too complicated to implement and wouldn't diverge much from Atoms' vision.

I second this, I found it a little strange that it was not containerised to begin with.
