I noticed the coreos people starting to specifically say
"local layerd
"
J

we should probably start calling it `local layered` and `on the image` from now ...

it
's when you want something at the OS level but it
's not on the image
, you can rpm
-ostree install it
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:13 AM
but rpm
-ostree layered apps still have full system access
, right
?

K

't want to layer proprietary software
I know steam is cool and the good guy

yeah I roll with the flatpak
, it
's fine
K
Kid

3/27/24, 2:14 AM
so I could just remove the layer on bazzite
, right
?

's why we say it
's on the image

it
's an OCI limitation
J

OP
•
3/27/24, 2:15 AM
that
's why we start from base layers and build from the bottom up
J

3/27/24, 2:16 AM
the smaller the image the better
, so we try to keep important things in there
, and things like apps and stuff go in flatpaks and containers
N
Noel
•
3/27/24, 2:16 AM
Maybe my next project will be splitting out the steam layer from Bazzite
.
N
Noel
•
3/27/24, 2:16 AM
So other folks can layer easily
.
N
Noel
•
3/27/24, 2:16 AM
Also Bazzite doesn
't fail to build just because the steam layer failed
.
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:17 AM
Okay but I know I will be a ublue user for sure
!
I just don
't know what image atm
.
Bazzite GNOME or Bluefin
I mean I
'm a gamer

We have Steam on the image because the flatpak is not full featured
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:20 AM
You won
't have steam input support for wayland
, you won
't have VR support
, you won
't have HDR support

Distrobox has some of these limitations
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:21 AM
It also wouldn
't work for game mode if you use an image with that
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:22 AM
Thanks
.
Lol really
? I got gamemode installed and just add the launch option gamemoderun
%command
%
thats how I did it on other distros
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:22 AM
Gamemode being the session
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:22 AM
Not the nested compositor
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:22 AM
That works
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:22 AM
Oh
.
. do you actually use gamemode on your desktop
?
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:23 AM
A lot of people do
, I don
't
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:23 AM
It does have benefits since there
's no desktop environment running in the background
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:23 AM
But my system is kind of beyond that
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:23 AM
But I
'm in the same boat
, I odon
't like it on my desktop PC
, because I
'm a multitasker
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:24 AM
Yeah so you can just pick an image that doesn
't have that
, you
're still getting HDR on the next KDE and Wayland steam input
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:24 AM
I
'm honestly a GNOME enjoyer now
^

Just because everything looks consistent and I never encountered any visual glitches or bugs
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:25 AM
Also the flatpak is going to use flatpak Mesa
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:25 AM
So you get no enhancements we make
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:25 AM
Or any of Valve
's patches
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:25 AM
Oh
.
. I thought that is a bonus
, because the flatpak uses mesa 24
K
Kyle Gospo

3/27/24, 2:25 AM
They will bunny hop
, our 23 had a lot of 24 patches in it
K
Kyle Gospo
•
3/27/24, 2:26 AM
And their 24 is still going to be missing valve
's patches
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:26 AM
alright
.
. you sold me on bazzite
K
Kid
•
3/27/24, 2:27 AM
@Kyle Gospo I will move now
!
But I want a completely fresh system
, is it possible to just back up my flatpkas and paste them in my new bazzite install
?
or how would you tackle this
?
K
Kyle Gospo
And their 24 is still going to be missing valve's patches
