Bazzite has a very simple process for installing software that isn’t on Flatpak: You spin up a virtual machine running a better distro and install it there

    I love bazzite for handheld consoles but before I install it on my desktop there needs to be version based on ordinary ‘non-immutable’ fedora kde. That being said, immutable distros are more stable

      Unlikely to happen. Not only is all their build tooling etc. made for immutable distros (and they have a lot of other ones besides Bazzite), but it would also mean throwing away the biggest advantages for little gain.

      I’ve been using it on my laptop for over 6 months now and it has been fantastic.

      I mean, if you’re really hardcore, you can build your own immutable distro image using the distro you want… but that’s way above my paygrade. I don’t think it’s that difficult, just something I have no intention of learning.
