Note that SB doesn't play well with other linux distros, and if you're trying to dual boot w/ Windows - Windows has a habit of nuking your boot order if it's on the same drive as another linux distro

Hey, I'm an arch linux user switching to bazzite on a legion go soon. I tinker with XR / ultraleap hand tracking. I install userspace drivers / system services with packages from the AUR to make stuff work so I am wondering: can I use this stuff on Bazzite? Is it possible to use systemd services from the AUR through something like distrobox in Bazzite? Or would I have to look at overlays on the Fedora host?

the drivers will require PRs to /ublue-os/akmods due to how those are installed, but services can be run through distrobox most of the time
