it is just generally best to avoid layering packages on the base image unless it's actually necessary
Pprobably also avoids having to build it with patches for userspace components?
Tlayering packages have consequences
HOk, thanks. That part always confuses me. many years back, when trying to move to linux, i had major issues with containerized things not communicating with other things. I assume that is not an issue with Bazzite?
Tdistrobox is magic
Pdistrobox solved all that
Pyeah
Pat least 99% of it
HExcellent! Thank you both
Pmany years back was like being here for the war
Pso you have a headstart!
Tdistrobox and brew really make the whole "package manager wars" seem like an even bigger joke
Pi still remember back in 2016 having my mind blown apart seeing doom running at 2k60fps on a potato that could barely handle windows
Pnow the OS is actually usable i can finally take advantage of this
Pi've been using fedora workstation as a hypervisor since then and i swear to god the amount of times i've had to reinstall because of some STUPID packaging anachronism
HOh, i lied. one more question.. I still cannot wirte to the .conf for nvidia-settings without root persmissions. this always seems very wrong to me.. am i missing something?
Tgod i haven't used nvidia in a while or edited .conf files but you need
sudoeditPthey shouldn't even leave that damn button in there if all it's going to do is break people's xconfigs
Tand edit that file directly with nano or somehting
P^
MI know on silverblue, when I installed opentabletdriver, I had to remove the wacom driver and rebuild the initramfs
Tthis is the reason i want X11 to not be a thing even though i know accessibiliy, most DEs/WMs, Nvidia woes, and other edge case scenarios for creatives rely on it still :(
HOk, since i do not know the syntax, i suppose i will have it write to user documents area, then manually edit in the information that is relevant
Midk if distroboxes avoids that problem
Pbasically yeah
MOr if that just isn't an issue with bazzite
Pgood ole nvidia tier suffering
Pwe are SO close to fixing it 
Talmost the year of the wayland desktop
Pi remember ten years ago laughing at wayland and now i almost almost take it seriously!
HI will reserve my cheers until finalized 
Midk, I wasn't able to play any steam games on the xorg session in my nvidia laptop
Tthats def a skill issue or a weird edge case
5I used solus for like 4 or 5 years. I loved that distro. It was fast, stable, and well maintained. Everything just worked. But it was limited on packages. After the maintainer uncertainty I moved to arch for the AUR. But if distro box was a thing back then, it would have been prefect
MWpuld literally just freeze my computer until the program crashed
Ti used nvidia on linux until 2022 and was fine (obviously on X11)
Mthe wayland session worked just fine
Thmm
Tactually i had a similar thing but i thought it was due to my dying SSD
Moccasional flickers
Mbut the programs actually ran
Ti didnt even attempt wayland when i was nvidia back then
Ti also only used linux distros that were X11 only
MI mean that's the default gnome session
5I had an optimus laptop and was just like, fuck this lol
5I sold it cause it was too much trouble on Linux
MI mean my laptop's ssd is apparently dying, but that's not really the cause of that
MSince the wayland session worked
MAlso my laptop doesn’t notify me of the ssd failing SMART, but my desktop does
Mhmm
J._.
