I get that, but sometimes I need dependcies or packages that I can’t get as flatpaks. Like today, I wanted to install a driver (or whatever it is) that’s called “ntfs-automount” and it needs to be built from source with

sudo make install

And that I couldn’t do on an immutable distro. And it is not available anywhere except the AUR and GitHub.

So, when you install things with rpm-ostree, will whatever I install stick, or will it be overridden whenever the system updates?

Lmfao. Exactly

I wanted to build “ntfs-automount” from source and I wasn’t able to do it on distrobox

Bazzite download was showing 1.5 hours and kept failing to download 😂

Awesome. Thank you. I’m getting the run around between distros now to see which one works the best. So far Cachy os isn’t as game ready as they claim. I had to install so much shit. Couldn’t even boot into any of the Garuda ISOs that I’ve burned on the flash drive. Was very confused with immutable distros. Tried mint, and it was cool, but didn’t try it for gaming. Man, this is a pain.

I’m leaning towards an immutable, but to be fully honest, they’re a very, very new thing to me and understand nothing about them. Like when you give an idiot a grenade. That’s me with an immutable distros. Lol
I need to learn more about them and how things work, because they do sound like what I’m looking for.

I surely hope so.

I installed aurora and distrobox got me a bit confused, so it is now on the back burner until I read more about it.

I did try an immutable one and ngl, I was a little stressed out using it. I wanted to create a package with the make command and for that I had to go through some hoops I didn’t fully understand, and still couldn’t get it to build.

It’s now a very strong candidate. I’m just testing cschy os for now, but I’m still leaving heavily towards mint. Do you use it?

I tried it and I was very confused. I was trying to build an app from source and it was complete cluster fuck. I gave up

I don’t really change many things on my system, but this is just a trend with endeavour os

I can count the apps I install from the AUR on fingers, and none of them are independencies or high level drivers. Just regular apps. The issue wasn’t the AUR, it’s always something with KDE that gets fucked

Their ISOs are broken and don’t boot. Tried every single one, changed USB flash drives, nope none of them booted. Used the same drive for another distro and it booted just fine

Thank you. I’m in the process of looking into Aurora DX. I’ve read their documentations and it seems to almost have everything I need. Illegal dig more into it and see. I currently am unable to access my PC. It never logs in. Lmao.
Edit: forgot to ask, is installing osprober a straightforward process on these immutable distros? I dualboot with windows

Do external devices work? Like Xbox controller, printers and stuff like that?

Wtf 😂

Debian stable? You don’t have issues since it has older packages? All of your hardware works just fine?

:(
This sucks. I’m going to look into one of those immutable distros and use distrobox
