I decided to abandon Windows on my desktop this year. After some searching I ended up with @bazzite After being a Debian user (server and vm) for a while it’s taken some time to adjust. But I will stick with it to the end of 2026.

Its a bit tricky if you have never used an immutable distro and are adding packages but otherwise its rock solid. I have been very happy with it.

    I'm relatively a Linux newbie and "open app store and click install" couldn't have been more user friendly to me, so I'm very excited by it all

    Flatpak with Flathub as a source is fantastic for a lot of things. It's the more specialty stuff like I install clevis to use network bound disk encryption. It isn't difficult, it's just rpm-ostree install and a reboot instead of dnf install. Other things you can usually install in a distrobox and keep your host OS clean.

    Be careful with rpm-ostree install as you can get into situations where some packages will block upgrades. But, once you get the hang of distrobox its pretty easy to install them in there - in whatever flavour of linux you want - and then expose them to the bazzite side.

    I've got a handful of weird apps for odd hardware type things that the flatpak side just couldn't handle so learning distrobox has been an absolute boon.
