 * Compressed (with squashfs or dwarfs), so it takes a lot less disk space than uncompressed containers and can provide faster filesystem access in some cases.
 * Contains many packages and libraries, it can run almost everything, and you don't need to install anything on your main (host) system. **You can even run 32-bit applications on pure 64-bit systems** (but your kernel needs **CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION**).
 * Based on Arch Linux, contains modern software (including fresh videodrivers).
-* Almost completely seamless experience. All applications that you run with Conty read and store their configs in your HOME directory as if you weren't using the container at all.
+* Almost completely seamless experience. All applications that you run with Conty read and store their configs in your $HOME directory as if you weren't using the container at all.
 * No performance overhead. Since it's just a container, there is virtually no performance overhead, all applications will run at full speed. Regarding memory usage, Conty uses a bit more memory due to compression and because applications from the container can't share libraries with your system apps.
 * Supports Xorg, Wayland and XWayland.
 * Supports filesystem and X11 sandboxing (thanks to bubblewrap and xephyr).
