I would have to investigate because I have never had a need to install a
container. I've never gotten on board the "container train." :)
My main concern would be the ability to run 32-bit graphical applications
[games]. Would access to Mesa, NVIDIA proprietary, and AMDGPU-PRO proprietary
drivers and libraries be as easy to setup as it is today?

Welp, there's LWN's quote of the week! ;-)
Kidding aside, you make a good point. Part of the reason for starting this
conversation is to figure out where the biggest pain points would be. Clearly,
Wine and third-party games are going to be one of those points and need
consideration.
I don't know enough about the low-level here to give a productive answer, but I
think this helps figure out which conversations we need to have.
