This is basically how steam on Linux works.

Windows games are run inside wine

Wine is run in a container (they call the tech pressure vessel, the version of the container most games use is called sniper)

Linux native apps are not forced into a container, except they are on steamos, so guess its coming everywhere later

The container is based on ubuntu

    I think they actually are by default. Steam Linux Runtime has been around for quite awhile, and if I'm not mistaken, it's basically just a container full of either Debian or Ubuntu.
