I personally don’t tinker much with the OS. I want it to stay out of the way and let me do things. In the case of Bazzite, everything I need for gaming is just there and works without me lifting a finger.
I like the safety and simplicity immutables bring.
If I’m doing something out of the ordinary, a temporary container usually suffices.
It’s really made the switch from Windows as a daily driver much easier.
restic -> Wasabi, automated with shell script and cron. Uses an include list to tell it what paths to back up.
Script has Pushover credentials to send me backup alerts. Parses restic log to tell me how much was backed up, removed, success/failure of backup, and current repo size.
To be added: a periodic restore of a random file to have its hash compared to the current version of the file (will happen right after backup, unlikely to have changed in my workload), which will be subsequently deleted, and alert sent letting me know how the restore test went.
What was some of the difficulty you ran into?
I haven’t had to do anything weird but I don’t need anything outside of flatpaks usually.
For most other things a container with more traditional package management works well.
Bazzite worked well for me with dual monitors and a 1060. But I can’t speak for 3 monitors and a 4070.
At least getting a snapshot of the Windows VM should be simple. And since it doesn’t connect to the internet and doesn’t update, restore should be quick and relatively easy.
Run
ujust update
Check out Bazzite until then.
That inconsistency is why I find Bazzite (and other immutables) so compelling. What works on my machine is very likely to work on yours.
My latest build is all AMD to help with compatibility/driver issues and I’m off to the races.
I can’t seem to play things like PUBG and others who’s anti-cheat doesn’t work (I guess) but oh well. I’m considering adding a drive for Windows to play the ones that just won’t work.
So…… you’ve been……. swayed?
But, my superiority!
It’s second to none if you have to get things done in a Windows environment, especially if dealing with Active Directory.
But if not, I don’t blame you for not picking it up. Right tool for the job and all that.
I find objects much easier to work with rather than a bunch of string manipulation.
I really appreciate the consistency. People also dog it for being verbose to write but it makes it so much more legible.

Why u gotta hate on PowerShell like that? I like it. 😭
Ok I don’t actually know if you’re just joking or neurodivergent so as not to not pick up on the sarcasm.
OP can do whatever the fuck they want on their device. The worst thing that can happen if they don’t like the suggestion is to close the single extra tab they opened on their browser to read about it.
But thank Christ you were here to save him from that catastrophe.
I hate how OP is gonna have to do whatever we say :(
That really sucks. I super wish they could just go on using whatever they want :(
Buddy, I did read it. Allow me to quote in case the OP is too long for you:
I missing any key steps or tips to make the experience even better on a Surface? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Dude is distro hopping and wants general input. Please fuck off.
It was on topic and made perfect sense. What’s funny is that it was in response to you saying”AXSHHALLY you guys shouldn’t suggest immutable distros” because those don’t count as Windows alternatives for reasons?
If you’re gonna be a prick, at least be correct.
Ahh. You’re just a prick. I get it now.
There’s a trending posts list which helps fill this want for me.
