I decided to abandon Windows on my desktop this year. After some searching I ended up with @bazzite
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.

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.
