From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I never say it has no problem. I'm on bazzite and every time I want something that's not in the playstore, it's a fucking hell and it never works. I just stopped.
You couldn't just layer it on, or use distribox and container it? I have plenty of Linux on machines I work with, but my gaming rig is Bazzite, and it literally does it's job perfectly, which is to game, and the few other misc things beyond its regular scope I have done in the couple's years it's been on that machine I have had no issues with?
Maybe I could if I had an idea what it was x) That's ok, I do with whatever bazaar has. My main frustration is for the VPN I paid, and can't use, but I tried things for days with the support and all failed, and since I don't understand what I'm doing and had to go in admin mode, I let it go. It's not a call for help.
I just switched to Bazzite recently and have been using containers through podman/docker for anything not on Bazaar. But what do people mean when they say "layering" on an immutable distro? I'm very much still new at this
You can layer packages not in the base image. This effectively installs that package. Except by default the "installation" will not take effect until the next boot.
You're doing it the correct way, usually the people who are confused are used to their existing linux ways. You only have to learn this way and that will not only be best practice but works on any linux distro.
