Glad it works for you. I gave it a shot, and had some big problems, in part with desktop usability and installing non-gaming apps. So much dependence on virtual layers.
Comment on How could you do this to me?

Bazzite’s been working pretty good for me. Was honestly easier to set up too, and fights me less, and runs smoother, and also doesn’t spy on me.

Git gud.
Just kidding. You can do most things in distrobox, it’s pretty easy. On the rare occasion, you might need to layer a package with rpm-ostree to add it to your OS image.
Everything else is flatpak pretty much. There is a slight learning curve if you’re familiar with mutable distros, but you can do pretty much anything you want on it.

You can try CachyOS instead.
Bazzite is immutable (& atomic, but that doesn’t matter) so it’s not the easiest distro to install software onto.Katana314@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yup, that’s where I moved to. I’ve had some hurdles and annoyances, but overall it’s been great!

Well, the hurdles you go through is definitely worth not using MacroShaft’s ““OS””.

I want to like bazzite, but their dependence on fedora makes me nervous. As soon as IBM tells red hat to drop x86 32bit things will start to fall apart quickly.

Why dropping x86 32-bit is an issue?
bhamlin@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Steam and most of the content it delivers requires 32bit libraries to link into. Steam could build for 64bit, but it won’t help the gigantic amount of games that are 32bit also.
It would look a lot like steam on macos looks; so many games that technically should work, but have a little 🚫 next to them because macos bo longer ships with the 32bit libraries needed.

Steam is doing that, though rather piecemeal. Both their client and runtime are moving towards 64-bit.
Doesn’t WINE’s WOW64 implementation solve this? Albeit with a not perfect compatibility.
I have no idea what the MacOS software landscape looks like, but if it uses WINE it might just be its silver bullet? If Steam does move towards 64-bit only, they would want to keep it compatible with Linux, due to their SteamOS ecosystem, and in turn MacOS users could also reap the benefits.
