  • Huh, I wonder why I thought it was immutable.

    Bazzite felt like a hassle at first, but it was really just about learning some new things and once I did, I really like it. Just use flatpaks for everything that you can. Otherwise, “rpm-ostree” does almost everything else you might need (and “ujust” makes it even easier). Read the man page on that and you should be good.

    As someone who did too much tinkering on EOS (time shift was a god send), the ability to not have to worry about breaking anything is very comforting.

    Breaking shit and fixing it is how I learned how to use Linux in general, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to avoid having to do it if I can.


  • I’ve been on Bazzite for 6 months or so, and have been considering giving CachyOS a try (not that I have any reason to, Bazzite has been wonderful).

    Has anyone tried both and can speak to their similarities/differences? My (admittedly basic) understanding is that they are both immutable distros, and that Bazzite is based on Fedora while CachyOS is based on Arch. Are there other big differences?

    I started my Linux journey with EndeavourOS, so I know a bit about how to use Arch already. Does CachyOS have something similar to rpm-ostree, but for Arch? Is it already basically pre-configured for gaming out of the box like Bazzite?

    Edit: not sure why I thought CachyOS was immutable… Isn’t there an immutable distro built for gaming, similar to Bazzite, but built on Arch instead of Fedora?
