I am freaking out on how well distrobox is working for me. I buy a lot of games on itch.io and GOG, and neither have a flatpak. However, installing an Ubuntu container (max compatibility) and launching games from there just works. Okay, I have yet to install a GOG game, but it the Itch client works then what won’t?
I am so excited. Containers are so fun. I guess arch would be easier, but whatevs.
I super appreciate all of the tips! I thought I was good installing Bazzite with a fresh install using an ISO, made sure to pick the NVIDIA option… it just failed to load the drivers, and showed a gray screen switching to open drivers. I know what I am not buying when I uprade in like 5 years.
That usb become necessary.
Anyways, before falling unconsious (finally going to sleep… and waking up early damn) I played with NixOS in a VM. I have sooooo much to learn… so I think I will just install the package manager, and gorge on the cake I get to keep.

It has been my pleasure 😊!

Very strange. Consider reporting this as a bug on their Github or ask assistance on their discord server.

NixOS, while excellent at what it offers, is indeed very different from almost anything else. I wish you the best of luck if you wish to conquer it, but I’ve personally put it on my backlog; I hope to return to it eventually, but not now. Perhaps consider using Fleek, which would be Nix-made-easy. Obviously, it isn’t as powerful, but perhaps a new user doesn’t need that much power in the first place 😉.
Okay, fleek is looking like everything I need to be happy. Learning about devbox made me excited too.
Damn, I am about ready to start doing some actual work, hah. Get back to programming actually start making things.
No, Silverblue + distrobox is enough for me. Fleek will probably help solve some of my package edge cases I have been struggling to resolve.
Computing is fun.
