Does this article really claim that it requires Windows to use software
of different Linux distros without rebooting?

AFAIK the container approach is more common for UNIX alike
operating systems, than for Microsoft.

Let me show you something.

Do you want to run tar from the rolling release Arch Linux, or do you
prefer to use tar from a recent Ubuntu LTS release or maybe tar without
xattr option from a vintage Suse?

3 Linux installs on one machine, even without using the container's boot
option, a simple direct access from one Linux to another is just a
'systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/ponit' away.
