Started using this as my daily driver a few weeks ago, and I love it. Coming from kubuntu it’s been a bit of a learning curve. Have been able to play every game I’ve tried so far without issue, and you get used to the immutable instance nature, but was able to get my dev stuff set up as well.
I had the hardest time getting used to the dev stuff with bazzite, do you just use distrobox for installing foss apps and then rpm-ostree for dev dependencies?
I heard you can use rpm from inside distrobox (or apt, pacman, etc depending on the container) but wasn’t ever sure how to expose that installed executable outside of distrobox
If you want to try it again, the command you’re looking for is distrobox-export, and it needs to be run from inside the distrobox container. It’s basically what allows you to expose software installed in the container so the host can run it directly.
