After being a Debian user (server and vm) for a while it’s taken some time to adjust. But I will stick with it to the end of 2026.

Its a bit tricky if you have never used an immutable distro and are adding packages but otherwise its rock solid. I have been very happy with it.

I'm relatively a Linux newbie and "open app store and click install" couldn't have been more user friendly to me, so I'm very excited by it all

Flatpak with Flathub as a source is fantastic for a lot of things. It's the more specialty stuff like I install clevis to use network bound disk encryption. It isn't difficult, it's just rpm-ostree install and a reboot instead of dnf install. Other things you can usually install in a distrobox and keep your host OS clean.

Be careful with rpm-ostree install as you can get into situations where some packages will block upgrades. But, once you get the hang of distrobox its pretty easy to install them in there - in whatever flavour of linux you want - and then expose them to the bazzite side.

I've got a handful of weird apps for odd hardware type things that the flatpak side just couldn't handle so learning distrobox has been an absolute boon.

Something like clevis, has to be on the host OS. Otherwise, yes use distroboxs.

Yup, Java has been goving me fits, I caved and just spun up a standard fedora vm and dumped it there.
