Imagine you like video games. You install Bazzite. You have Steam, with only a little checkbox (to allow playing on linux). It works, you can play, you have a "playstore" if you need something. You have really little to do if you don't go outside Steam and the playstore.

    The immutable gimmick that’s currently going on right now is still way too flavor of the month for new users who are trying to learn from a ground set of nothing.

    New users aren't going to administer their computers either. there's no "flavor of the month" it's just teaching new users how to administer linux systems properly. And of course directions on the internet are going to be incorrect, the only correct solution is to follow the documentation, not random guides on the internet.

    I never say it has no problem. I'm on bazzite and every time I want something that's not in the playstore, it's a fucking hell and it never works. I just stopped.

    You couldn't just layer it on, or use distribox and container it? I have plenty of Linux on machines I work with, but my gaming rig is Bazzite, and it literally does it's job perfectly, which is to game, and the few other misc things beyond its regular scope I have done in the couple's years it's been on that machine I have had no issues with?

    Maybe I could if I had an idea what it was x) That's ok, I do with whatever bazaar has. My main frustration is for the VPN I paid, and can't use, but I tried things for days with the support and all failed, and since I don't understand what I'm doing and had to go in admin mode, I let it go. It's not a call for help.

    I just switched to Bazzite recently and have been using containers through podman/docker for anything not on Bazaar. But what do people mean when they say "layering" on an immutable distro? I'm very much still new at this

    You're doing it the correct way, usually the people who are confused are used to their existing linux ways. You only have to learn this way and that will not only be best practice but works on any linux distro.

    What exactly do you think someone is going to have to do that isn't easily done on Bazzite? Bazzite isn't based around Steam. 99% of users will install everything they need from Flathub and be perfectly fine.

    Also, you can do anything you want with an "immutable" distro, it's just done differently. Immutable is a bad and unclear descriptor, which is why Bazzite uses atomic.
