  • With immutables you can do pretty much everything you do on a normal distro. I code, flash microcontrollers, design and print 3d parts, write documents, draw, manage my servers, consume media… What exactly do you think you can’t do? You can install pretty much anything, actually with distrobox you can install more stuff than you would without it: you can install packages for one distribution that may not be available on some others. Flatpak works, and you also have AppImages of course.

    The biggest limit with Bazzite & C is that you’re limited to KDE or Gnome mostly, but if you really wanted you could layer something else on top of the base image.















  • Well I disagree. I tried Bazzite on my desktop and then installed it on my laptop, even though I seldom play games on it. I’m a long-time Linux user and a tinkerer, and so far I haven’t found anything I wanted to do and I couldn’t.

    I can compile software with compilers from distrobox, I can design and slice 3d parts and send them to my printers, manage my servers, customize my system… Sure you can’t easily change your DE, although I guess it would be somewhat possible with rpm-ostree, but other than that I don’t see many limitations.

    The main difference is that you should refer to Bazzite’s docs FIRST, because if you just search the web for your issue/goal, you’re going to find instructions that may not be compatible with an immutable distro.
