For anyone on a similar search, I've been very happy with my Niz board that has capacitive switches claimed to be similar to the Topres:

It's much quieter than the Cherry MX (brown) board I had previously, with a very light action.

If you need to stick with crontab entries (perhaps they are generated/managed by some other software), it should be possible to write a systemd generator[1] to generate the required timer/service units from the crontab file(s).

In addition to the other suggestions, you might want to check-out distrobox: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox

It provides support for starting host commands within a container, and also exporting commands from containers to the host.
