Bazzite has a very simple process for installing software that isn’t on Flatpak: You spin up a virtual machine running a better distro and install it there

I love bazzite for handheld consoles but before I install it on my desktop there needs to be version based on ordinary ‘non-immutable’ fedora kde. That being said, immutable distros are more stable
Nobara
Nobara promised me a nice dinner and then punched me in the taint
Usually need to pay extra for that
So, Nobara?
I would have stuck with Nobara, which is the first Linux distro I really tried, but it was maintained by one person and eventually they’re going to get burned out or worse. I figured it would be better to just go with a distro that had a whole team working on it.
I switched from Bazzite to Garuda to get away from it being immutable. It’s been great.
What’s your problem with the image based OS?
If there’s really anything you need, you can layer it or build your own image quite easily.
Unlikely to happen. Not only is all their build tooling etc. made for immutable distros (and they have a lot of other ones besides Bazzite), but it would also mean throwing away the biggest advantages for little gain.
I’ve been using it on my laptop for over 6 months now and it has been fantastic.
I mean, if you’re really hardcore, you can build your own immutable distro image using the distro you want… but that’s way above my paygrade. I don’t think it’s that difficult, just something I have no intention of learning.
