Hi All,
I've developed this docker environment to work with GLayout and the other tools.

<https://github.com/ChipUSM/usm-vlsi-tools/tree/main>

The main motivation is to have a development environment with most of the configurations problems solved using the minimum disk space.
I've managed to verify 4 workflows:

1. Using `make` to open a terminal. This is the most basic way of use the docker image
2. Using `make` to start `jupyter lab` and use the tools from a browser
3. Use VSCode DevContainer. *This is my favorite* because of git integrations and the extensions
4. Use the Xserver from a WSL Distribution with the DevContainer. Only works on Windows
I hope this alternative makes easier to interact with the tools and avoids the complexity of configure a linux distribution.

Both Jupyter and VsCode can interact with Klayout and draw the gds.

Thanks <@U03B029DKU5> - Maybe others can try and report back if it is easier.
