For anyone reading this: immutable does not mean you cannot use the command line, and you cannot tinker. It's just different, and you will need to learn a few new commands, etc.

Additionally, Bazzite comes with Distrobox where you can literally install any software on any distro (including AUR if you want). There's almost no limits.

I should’ve clarified that in my comment, you’re correct. I wasn’t trying to imply it wasn’t possible, just that a lot of people don’t care to learn new things and just want things to work like they’re used to, and the odd time they need to use the command line, it might be more straightforward if they aren’t using something immutable, for better or worse. Immutable has the upside of being harder to fuck up for newbies though.

I didn’t know about Distrobox, that’s really cool actually. I’m content with Cachy but if I went back to Bazzite I’d be looking into using that for sure.
