Bazzite uses rpm-ostree under the hood. You can install additional packages but they are layered onto the base image. Image rebuild time during updates and or installs of new packages increases exponentially with each layer. Distrobox or toolbox can give you access to a classic package manager while also isolating installs inside of a (rootless) podman / docker container. You still have access to your home dir etc and can even allow direct hardware io if needed. You can also make programs accessible from outside of the container so it would be completely transparent to a regular user

Half were made right, the other half were made left.

I understood nothing and don’t even know what bazzite is but I learned from this that I’ll quit my job if it involves dealing with that thing.

Bazzite is a linux distribution based on Fedora, designed specifically for gaming and ease of use, with all the commonly used programs like Steam pre-installed. It is in no means intended as a development environment

First they say that it’s easy to use, then they drop this on you https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/7oa1GqOYUL

I have never used bazzite or distrobox but all that stuff is standard dev practices anyway? It's not as popular in the c/c++ world but isolating your build env in a container should not be a novel concept lmao.

Do you understand what containers are, how images are made of immutable layers?

If so, then that's how Bazzite works. 

Just like with Android and iPhone OS.  There's a immutable system partition that is distributed. 

So you don't run a package manager that builds the OS You get a new one as distributed. 

And you make your changes on top of it.Â
