Hthink of distrobox as a wrapper for docker/podman that integrates it with the host and you can install gui applications and cli applications in it which do not touch the host system. it is one of the best ways to install something on an atomic or immutable system
H
Pis homebrew an alternative as @yukidream suggested? I'll probably also need ffmpeg to interface with it for some commands so better integration between them might tip the scales between them
Dffmpeg is preinstalled on bazzite since it is being used for thumbnail
Hyes homebrew is another alternative, it is an alternative package manager that contains all the installs inside
however brew is only for cli applications
$HOME/linuxbrew, also works for cli applications that need tighter integration with the hosthowever brew is only for cli applications
Hit is also independent of the system so i believe it uses its own dependencies
Pwill dabble with it, thanks for the concise write up
Hi do not use it myself as 100% of what i need runs in distrobox
Hi use it on macos though, its kinda a must have there 
Hplus i like the ability to give distrobox its own home directory to mess with
WI have two Displays. One 4k display and my TV. When the tv is not connected i cant switch to game mode. Why?
Pyt-dlp is great, in Windows I made custom functions to download specific stuff and it worked without issues, with immutable things work a bit different
E:meow:
Hmake a thread in #bazzite-help and give us the log from 
~/.gamescope-stdout.log and ~/.gamescope-cmd.log when it happens then we will have a bigger chance of being able to help you Hif you cant get the log without connecting the screen back then get the one with .old in it
AI tried blender with fresh 3.0 install. That's the only thing I did, but still not working.
I don't want to spam this channel with this issue anymore so I opened a topic with all the details under bazzite-help

WCant upload log files in discord. 
Hcat thelogfile.log | fpasteHand include that in your thread
Hwill give you a link you just provide us
WIn windows i can upload the files.
TSo I was copying very important files to another drive because I needed to back them up because Bazzite was acting super freaky and weird for me
turns out, bazzite has decided to copy all of the folders and none of the files
this marks the end of my journey with Linux until it's capable of doing the most basic system tasks known to man without causing me over 2 weeks worth of data loss

TI give up here
AWhat happened to the original files?
PI know the feel, I have been screwed similarly back in the day by OS X. I was moving college project files to an external drive and apparent for just a split second the USB drive lost connection for a bit, which under normal circumstances wouldn't be that big a deal, but then there's Apple. See, when you are doing a move files option if by any chance the destination becomes unavailable it reverts the move but then also deletes the files in the source, so you're left with nothing. Almost failed my grade, luckily I could hand in the files later.

It's an unusual bug, but it could still happen to you. Here's how to dodge it.
AYeah when copying from drive to drive I usually do a copy and when it succeeds I remove the original
AAlso important to note that Linux uses ram caching for all drives unlike windows
ASo the transfer shows finished before it finishes
AAnd if you don't eject you get data corruption
Tlemme say it like this:
1. Files are on Drive A
2. I copy them to Drive B, now they're on Drives A and B
3. I wipe Drive A completely, it's now empty
4. I check Drive B, turns out the files didn't copy properly and essentially everything is gone aside empty folders

DAnyone run into issues using gamescope where you go to alt tab to a browser and only the virtual desktop for the game is visible
Hhow did you do the copy, also did you actually check if the progress was 100% done before even ejecting drive B (so that the remaining transfered files get flushed to the drive before you remove it if they havent been moved yet)
kde and gnomes file managers do not show progress in a clear way, often hiding it into a small icon either in the file manager or tray.
because linux tends to make the empty folders first, then copy files so it sounds like an incomplete transfer.

Ta notification said the transfer completed successfully
Ethis sucks i dont know why gw2 isnt launching anymore
Hmeans it can still be cached in ram and wont get force flushed before you eject the drive (unmount)
Ei made a support thread
Tno lol, it can't
Tthis happened like yesterday, it's long gone
Him talking when it said it was complete, it could still be in flight in ram because of how the disk caching work in linux
Hit's a quirk with most modern oses, they don't exactly tell you when the transfer is actually complete because of caching
that's why you need to safe eject pen drives
that's why you need to safe eject pen drives
Hthat can happen anywhere from windows to android
Haltho if you did do the whole safe ejection song and dance, then that's really odd
Hexactly
Awindows disables RAM caching but as far as I know its the only os to do so
Afor hotpluggable drives
Hit should but in my experience it's very hit or miss with guessing which drives are actually hotpluggable
Athats also true
Astill is a bad idea to yank drives. But linux is particularly bad in that regard
Atransfers can finish half an hour before they actually do
Hyea
