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

      There is an unofficial build in COPR, maintained by… some random person? …but nothing mainline.

      And its instructions tell you to install with dnf, which i think at this point is literally disabled by Bazzite… because they rely on rpm-ostree, and if you muck about with rpm-ostree, you can run into dependency conflict hell.

      But at the same time, i2p needs to be able to directly mess with systemctl… which… as far as I can tell… can’t be done by having i2p installed in some kind of container… because the entire point of a container… is to isolate the core system.

        Why does it need systemctl?

        There are official container images that you could use. If all else fails you could set it up in a VM.
