    It's awesome. The packages don't matter because you use distro box if there's not a flatpak that works already. I have an Ubuntu distro box for tools for things that don't work on fedora.

    It uses ublueos for an immutable which is rock solid. Idk how to explain it well, but it's the only distro I want anymore.

    If u do end up trying it and find a package that doesn't work, ping me and I'll get you a command you can run to do it

    immutable? does it have an immutable file system? that's a perfect way to fill up and corrupt any storage

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

    The root filesystem is immutable, not the entire filesystem. So when you do upgrades and things it's super easy to roll back and you never need to rebuild your entire OS if a package is messed up or something.

    Tbh I'm not great at explaining it, I'd just look up a YouTube video for it.

    Bazzite uses silverblue with other gaming related features

    I just use snapback on btrfs with endeavourOS 🤔 works just as well, I recon, or what is the difference?

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I believe bazzite is on btrfs by default. I just like the concept of a read only root filesystem. It helps make everything more stable so far for me personally

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I just do not delete system files 🌚 jk

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Yeah, until that one time when you tell apt to force install a package and it fucks your entire system...

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    😯why would I force it?

    BTW, I do not like APT very much

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I've installed .deb files before that fail or miss dependencies, then you get stuck in a half applied state and have to force fix your apt packages.

    I'm not saying I'm doing it right, but its happened before more than a few times to me, but not on bazzite

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Ah, yea, that is one of the reasons I don’t like APT… 😂

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Yup, but now I get to use whatever distro I want with distrobox. It's awesome

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

    😁 I still never had an app that I wanted requiring it, but I’m very happy having it as quick temporary solution if I ever stumble over an app that does not run on Arch yet (In such cases I would try to fix the AUR package 😇)

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

    I meant for bazzite. You can use an arch distrobox and it'll be like you had arch installed already

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Just had an example of this working for me. Parsec only publishes a .deb file, and the flatpak is out of date / unmaintained. They don't have Nvidia decoding anywhere but Ubuntu. But with distrobox / boxbuddy I can get a fully-featured parsec install that runs on a distrobox. Works perfectly, and even has an application in my host application menu. It's bad ass

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    😁i can do just “yay parsec” and install it

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

    Ofc, but then you now have a dependency on a specific version of ffmpeg for your root OS

    is it better than Garuda's zstd backups?

    [–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

    I've never used Garuda so I can't comment on that. It just behaves like the steam deck but uses fedora
