I stand by my comments. Bazzite has benefits being immutable but immutability can cause certain tasks to be more involved or constrained. Case in point it’s nice that Bazzite comes with a lot of sane defaults:

  - brew
  - podman
But it would be disingenuous to understate the additional hurdles either you or software you are accustomed to using being amenable to operating within the immutability restriction. That’s not to discount the great benefits and entire categories of problems that immutability protects you from. It’s just a priority and weighing your options question.

Here’s an example that bit me: I wanted to run k3s/k0s but both have issue with Bazzite. Those were hard stops for me.
