Im wondering if there are any other immutable gamine distros besides bazzite. in particular im wondering if immutables use any other base. I swear I thought suse was doing custome type things long ago.

nothing in particular. I am wrestling with getting games to launch outside of my steam account for things i have seperate logins for but I have barely dealt with it. I mean I have done it a lot but things seem to fail or get taken over by steam. Im actually thinking of uninstalling steam for testing purposes. What I have setup I plan to reinstall ultimately as I am goofing around a lot and want it relatively clean if and when I get it to my daily driver. Anyway I was asking for options mainly because part of the reason I am going to it is for gaming but part is because I like the immutable way of doing things but partly to get away from ubuntu but lately I want to get away from red hat as well.

    What does 'outside your steam account for things you have separate logins for' mean?

    some software steam automagically uses your steam credentials. I think part of it is deals with the game developers. So you have to launch the game such that your steam account does not get involved. So basically stand alone. Was easier with play on linux but lutris and wine-ge are not running what I want. I see in the lutris logs it seems to be still calling to steam proton areas even though I installed it with the wine option.

    That's an interesting set of circumstances. Have you tried some thin sandboxing, like bottles, boxes, or containers? If you are trying to keep software from interacting with other software but run on the same hardware, that'd be what I'd try.

    so the solution is super simple. you bring it into steam and then import it as a non steam game before running it. Then the reason I think lutris was bombing out on it is because I had to switch to using the latest non steam proton.
