I left the solution to this on Reddit.  It was not a Slackware only issue as I first thought, but that there were no inodes left in root.

Tried installing AnBox https://docs.anbox.io/userguide/install.html when system was still pure Nitrix.  Kept running into things that were not supported, even though above link is Ubuntu only.
