Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

It's not just gaming, it's a fully functional OS permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) So you can install packages? It's not a fully immutable system? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago* (1 child) You install the package and it adds it to your OS image (that re-initializes every time you boot). They say you should try to avoid it if you can, so if there's a flatpak use that, if not, then a distrobox with Fedora toolbox for .RPMs or Arch (for AUR and yay) or whatever other distro you choose, then shortcutting it right to your host OS. By this point, you've probably already found a way (or three) to get it to work. If all that doesn't work, then you can layer packages onto your image by installing the local .RPM using rpm-ostree then rebooting. I've only had to do this with my VPN client so far. Only annoyance is that you have to update it manually. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago Ooh, okay, definitely sounds cumbersome at first glance. permalink fedilink source parent
