Bazzite felt like a hassle at first, but it was really just about learning some new things and once I did, I really like it. Just use flatpaks for everything that you can. Otherwise, “rpm-ostree” does almost everything else you might need (and “ujust” makes it even easier). Read the man page on that and you should be good.
As someone who did too much tinkering on EOS (time shift was a god send), the ability to not have to worry about breaking anything is very comforting.
Breaking shit and fixing it is how I learned how to use Linux in general, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to avoid having to do it if I can.
The problem I had with flatpak is that I needed to screw with a lot of individual apps anyway, and the containerization was a headache. It took up a lot of ssd space too, and in some cases, performance is an issue and I’d prefer system packages.
I think my biggest issue that flat pack could alleviate is system python updating and me having to redo my venvs, but I probably need to do that anyway…
Huh, I wonder why I thought it was immutable.
