    Linux veteran here. I use Bazzite on my gaming PC and ROG Ally. Once I figured out the quirks of an immutable distro and started using distroboxes it became an amazing experience. No complaints here.

      I’m seriously considering Bazzite now. Can you explain whether something like LaTeX with custom packages would work? I also don’t want to redownload the LaTeX packages to vanish after a system update.

      Also, I’m a tiling window user (i3). Will it be possible to use it in desktop mode?

        Bazzite is exclusively KDE, and I honestly don’t think it’s possible to run a different desktop manager on it.

        Edit: Sorry, my mistake, there’s the option for GNOME as well. But I don’t think they recommend even switching between them on an install.

      As someone who never used an immutable distro: what are the quirks when using it?
