(i posted this on reddit and a mod message mentioned this forum exists! will migrate my KDE discussions to here going forward)
This is more of a background/history than “how to”, since i’m still bit new to linux world.
Did the immutable distro hopping (bazzite, aurora, my own custom aurora image); flatpack, distrobox, brew, layered updates.
I’m big fan of immutable distros now, but it’s not non-tinkerer friendly. For example, 1password is either flatpak hobbled (no fingerprint support, browser interaction), or needs to be installed with ujust script, layering, or something else.
Is solution for that, given where things are going, better flatpak? I did some reading and it seems that flatpak has been trying to solve this for a while. is then issue that app makers have inertia towards using flatpak properly?
Two of my favorite distros: aurora (bazzite does bit too much for me), and KDE linux (still early, but I’m big KDE fan) are both immutable, and i’m curious if there’s glimpses of how folks are thinking about this.
I’m currently on custom Aurora image with minimally added what doesn’t work well as flatpak for me (steam, gamescope, 1password + brave, vscode); however that doesn’t feel like it should be long term solution. It was fun learning project though!
