I'd add to this that you can install stuff from package repositories, but only if you "layer" it onto your system, which I think slows up boot time, plus you have to re-boot for it.

Also, I highly recommend getting familiar with Distrobox. It can run even gui apps without issues, and is grate for whenever I need to install more stuff and just want to do the regular dnf install, i.e for dev environments.

    They discourage layering on the packages, as that's how you get conflicts that might break things in future releases.

    I tried to run Bazzite as my daily driver but I just couldn't do it. I probably was not familiar enough with Distrobox, but everything I tried to do had some caveat that meant I couldn't work it out.

    The desktop the kids use runs Bazzite, and I'm pretty close to changing it. Issues with xbox controllers, issues waking from sleep, issues going to sleep to start with. It's barely used outside of the kids playing games and it still has more issues than I do running Nobara as my main.
