It's the greatest thing ever made, I actually game exclusively in distrobox
It's the greatest thing ever made, I actually game exclusively in distrobox
KSilverblue host, arch Linux box with steam exported from it
WReally? My plan is steam flatpak and just go from there.
WDo you see a meaningful difference?
WI'm being a bit uh... "perfectionist" and haven't fully swapped from pop_OS while I build my image.
JI'm pretty happy with flatpak steam, I don't do much outside of steam though, like I don't use a bunch of the tools in bazzite, etc.
Kmore control
Kif I want LatencyFleX I can't have it with flatpak steam because a LatencyFleX flatpak doesn't exist
Kbut I can install it in my distrobox and use it all I want
Kadditionally, when running a distrobox, the copy of mesa in the box is used
WThere are some things like the steam tinker launcher, but it looks like yatfi takes care of that too.
Kso you can go as far as to use mesa-git in the box
Kand have unstable mesa on a stable base OS
Wyou're on a bit of a different level than I am then. I'll definitely check it out when I get there. Lutris for my epic games and steam are sufficient for me most days.
Jthe nice thing about this model is "hey if you're a dad like me you can just game on bluefin or whatever, but if you wanna go hard rebase to bazzite, you don't lose anything." and you'll never lose anything again, from moving to anything, thats' really awesome.
KI use lutris in my arch box too!
Kthis is how bazzite-desktop does everything OOTB
WThese days I've been on a Guild Wars 2 kick, and that runs wonderfully under steam.
Ji've actually moved from lutris to heroic for epic stuff recently
Jstill use lutris for battle.net though
WI'm definitely planning on like... making a branch to play with the new Cosmic DE before its ready knowing I can swap back trivially.

WI wouldn't risk my distro to it normally
KWbut under this model, I'm genuinely excited to
Kthen follow the sublime guide to install their stuff
Klastly
KKWDoes sublime merge have an interactive rebase worth a damn?
Know they appear in your host OS
WI think that's the last thing I'm missing
K
Kyes
W
WThat's slightly more expensive than I was expecting, but if its worth it, its worth it.
Kdefinitely install without paying first
Kit'll nag you like WinRAR
WOh, like fork
WFork is my current happy place with Git.
WWbut no linux
KUI looks very similar to sublime merge tbh
Kthink you'll be right at home
Wfantastic
K
Wyeeeep
Wnow we're getting into weird territory: How hard is it to pre-program distro box installs too? I know you can "save" a container... would it be easier to just import the distrobox container than it would be to try and script the box's setup?
KGitHub
Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Mirror available...
WAt some point I'm gonna have to just pull the trigger and switch to my image rather than set it up for forever and stay on pop
Wbut my non-laptop machine is all VMs anyway on an unraid hypervisor
