"Using a different architecture" tip needs updating #1669
Description
This doc page references an obsolete image on Docker Hub. Changing the command to "distrobox create -i arm64v8/debian builder" doesn't help.
What worked for me was:
$ distrobox create \
--image debian \
--additional-flags \
--platform=linux/aarch64 \
debian-aarch64
The "enter" step appears to get stuck, but it's just being super-slow to install the "basic packages" through emulation.

I will add, that for Arch, the required packages are: qemu-user-static and qemu-user-static-binfmt

Thanks @tangentsoft for providing the above working command. It's working for me. However, whenever I enter the distrobox and try to run a command requiring privileged access, I get the following error:
Do we need additional flags to the
