Yes of course, but you need to do it via the package manager. You can't "sudo make install". If you build your own software and want to install it system wide, you need to flatpack/brew it or run it in a docker container.

(obviously you can modify the filesystem if you really really really want to).

Bazzite is gaming oriented version of Fedora CoreOs. There are many different versions. I am running bluefin.

I've tried a lot of desktop linux distros, and to be honest, immutable linux feels like the future. Anything you do can simply be rolled back. Break something? Just roll it back.

And if you run something like Bazzite, but want to try out Bluefin-Dx which is developer oriented, then you can rebase your existing installation. If you don't like it, just revert back to Bazzite with a single command.

However, it's desktop oriented. Don't run CoreOs on a server.

Why not, this kind of management seems ideal, A/B safe testing for boot.

Lots of containers to go around these days, people are familiar with them and how they work, seems like an obvious sane choice.

You can if you're going to target /usr/local, which should be where make install installs if it's following the FHS correctly.

Huh?? I think you meant something other than CoreOS there.
