The root filesystem is immutable, not the entire filesystem. So when you do upgrades and things it's super easy to roll back and you never need to rebuild your entire OS if a package is messed up or something.
Tbh I'm not great at explaining it, I'd just look up a YouTube video for it.

Bazzite uses silverblue with other gaming related features
I just use snapback on btrfs with endeavourOS ๐ค works just as well, I recon, or what is the difference?
I believe bazzite is on btrfs by default. I just like the concept of a read only root filesystem. It helps make everything more stable so far for me personally
I just do not delete system files ๐ jk
Yeah, until that one time when you tell apt to force install a package and it fucks your entire system...
๐ฏwhy would I force it?
BTW, I do not like APT very much
I've installed .deb files before that fail or miss dependencies, then you get stuck in a half applied state and have to force fix your apt packages.
I'm not saying I'm doing it right, but its happened before more than a few times to me, but not on bazzite
Ah, yea, that is one of the reasons I donโt like APTโฆ ๐
Yup, but now I get to use whatever distro I want with distrobox. It's awesome
๐ I still never had an app that I wanted requiring it, but Iโm very happy having it as quick temporary solution if I ever stumble over an app that does not run on Arch yet (In such cases I would try to fix the AUR package ๐)
I meant for bazzite. You can use an arch distrobox and it'll be like you had arch installed already
Just had an example of this working for me. Parsec only publishes a .deb file, and the flatpak is out of date / unmaintained. They don't have Nvidia decoding anywhere but Ubuntu. But with distrobox / boxbuddy I can get a fully-featured parsec install that runs on a distrobox. Works perfectly, and even has an application in my host application menu. It's bad ass
๐i can do just โyay parsecโ and install it
Ofc, but then you now have a dependency on a specific version of ffmpeg for your root OS
is it better than Garuda's zstd backups?
I've never used Garuda so I can't comment on that. It just behaves like the steam deck but uses fedora
