  • I have been using bazzite for a while, and I’m quite happy with it, especially in the respect that it just does not break, ever.

    But not can it be frustrating sometimes to install things that have no flatpak or appimage.

    That being said, there are a lot of ways to get around this, homebrew and distrobox, etc. And its also not something the deva are sound wrong, it’s just part of the deal with immutable distros. Will frustrating at times though.











  • Silverblue is what I’m putting on my partner’s older PC, the fact that it atomic is a big plus-point.

    Be warned though, some less common non-cli packages are more difficult to install. If your SO needs something along those lines, mint may be better.

    For example, nordVPN has a nice GUI interface, but it has no appimage or flatpak, so it won’t work on silverblue without modifying the ostree. That’s not a good idea, so on my (bazzite) PC I have installed a simple openVPN GUI package, and set it up to use our nordVPN account. It works fine, but it’s not a pretty map-based interface, just a giant list of servers.
