Where does Bazzite fit into this? (Sincerely, someone who wants to switch to either Bazzite or CachyOS and can't decide between them)
wedged in between cachy and fedora I would say
There's an argument that it would be between Fedora and Ubuntu, since being immutable makes it more locked down and you are beholden to the devs to push out important updates like drivers. Then again it is basicallt customized Fedora Atomic so if we're counting "Fedora" as an average of all Fedora versions, maybe not
I see this misconception all the time about Fedora Atomic distros. You can actually install any normal package available through the included repos, or add your own repo (
rpm-ostree install $pkg). DNF can be used to add a repo from a URL and then you just userpm-ostree install $pkg. It is really that simple.The reason you aren't supposed to is that it makes the system diverge from the default image by overlaying the package. Still though, Fedora Atomic is just Fedora but container images for updates.
Interesting, are their really no other major differences than the container images? Have you ran into any additional hurdles with the atomic experience? You may have convinced me to try Bazzite or SecureBlue.
I personally adhere to the idea of avoiding installing too many overlayed packages. Most i have installed in like five (with dependencies) at once. If you are comfortable with still using mostly Flatpaks and (only) a few overlayed packages, then Atomic may still be for you.
I really do recommend Secureblue.
That would include not installing Nvidia drivers though, no?
Yes, just get the Nvidia version of Secureblue/Bazzite and you are good.
check out Nobara if you're looking for a gaming distro, based on Fedora and managed by the guy who makes Proton-GE
just a heads up for people, the guy, GE, lives in Colorado. He is prepared to follow whatever fedora chooses to do in response to age verification laws. I don't blame him, but since I have been using Nobara for years, I will switch to something else if age verification comes to Nobara.
