I have several things installed via layering. It doesn’t feel like a work around but I can see it feeling hacky.

I’m not a power user yet so I’m not running into issues where major customizations have limited me.

I do appreciate you sharing though!

It sounds like you dislike Bazzites immutable nature. Genuine question, why is that? I’ve been using Bazzite for about 8 months and I love it. I like the fact that I can rollback to a previous iteration. But I genuinely don’t know the issues with it beyond maybe that the distro has a strong say in what gets updated and when.

Educate me plz
