    In case, like me, you hadn’t heard of Bazzite before:

    Bazzite is an OCI image that serves as an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck, and a ready-to-game SteamOS-like for desktop computers, handheld PCs, and living room home theater PCs.

      Have not tried immutable distros, but I like the idea that the core OS is read-only to prevent a rookie user from messing things up.

      Then again, if the core OS is read-only, is it at all possible to modify some system files like fstab files to auto-load drives?

        /etc is completely writeable. This is why we don’t use the term “immutable distros” because Bazzite and the rest of universal blue are neither immutable nor distros.

        (This is why Fedora moved to the term Atomic)

          Noted. I guess used the wrong definition for Bazzite and that confused me. LOL.

          Good to know that /etc is writable. I might have to download it and give it a spin. Thanks for clarifying.

      It’s basically Nobara, but properly done. (If you choose the desktop version)

      It gets updates automatically (max one day after upstream Fedora), has everything you want ootb in the first start wizard, is more secure, and much more.

      I was very sceptical at first, but after trying it out, I really noticed some minor performance improvements in games and many QoL improvements, e.g. the preinstalled LACT, which allows me to set up fan curves and over-/ underclock my GPU.

      Setting up my new PC took me about half an hour maximum.

      9/10, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a smooth gaming experience.
