How much different is setting up immutable distros like Bazzite? I like the concept but I’ve been too intimidated to try it out.
Having to install things mostly through flatpaks works seamlessly until it doesn’t. Then you’re stuck in dependency hell where you have to open holes in your containers to allow access to files or binaries.
I’m at a point where I layer enough software that I don’t know If there is still value added.
This has always been my concern with relying on Flatpak. It is only as simple as your requirements are it seems.
Setting up is stupid easy. What makes immutable distros potentially difficult is installing software. Anything packaged as a flatpak is stupid easy. Beyond that it can get complicated. But it’s not bad in general.
Having just switched to Linux with Bazzite two weeks ago, my biggest issues have come from Wayland support. And that’s really just because I have a specific piece of software I need that doesn’t support Wayland. And that’s a bit of an edge case and the result is more annoyance than show stopper.
Just use brew for non-gui programs. Really easy. It’s the recommended way by the ublue devs and should be pre-installed
Can’t you use Xwayland?
No, because it’s a software KVM and it needs to be able to read, mirror, and suppress mouse and keyboard actions.
Which can be done on Wayland but it needs to be dome from a Wayland native app
Can relate
Flatpaks ,boxbuddy for gui RPMS, it’s super versatile once you get it
