    Linux veteran here. I use Bazzite on my gaming PC and ROG Ally. Once I figured out the quirks of an immutable distro and started using distroboxes it became an amazing experience. No complaints here.

      I’m seriously considering Bazzite now. Can you explain whether something like LaTeX with custom packages would work? I also don’t want to redownload the LaTeX packages to vanish after a system update.

      Also, I’m a tiling window user (i3). Will it be possible to use it in desktop mode?

        Basically installing packages. You’re fine if you default to using

        • flatpaks for gui apps
        • brew for cli programs
        • distrobox when building from source or when you need good control over the package environment (e.g. when installing a latex editor and only the latex packages you want)
        • layer packages on host with “rpm-ostree install” when the program needs tight integration with the host (e.g. VPN software)

        Also, you shouldn’t edit files in /usr, but I’ve never run into that limitation. You can still edit other top-level directorys like /etc .

        That’s about it.
