minus-square@Railcar8095@lemm.eelinkfedilink3•3 months agoNot all. Cups doesn’t seem to work in distro box and even if it does printer drivers won’t. Others like tailscale need (last time I checked) 3rd party scripts to even install, so possible but not trivial without research. For context, I use Bazzite for home/work/gaming and there are a few use cases I couldn’t make work without installing packages.
minus-squareProdigalFroglinkfedilinkEnglish1•3 months agoAppreciate the info! I’ve been interested in immutable distros, but that would be a pretty big issue for my main PC.
minus-square@Railcar8095@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•3 months agoJust one thing, SteamOS is specially tricky for this as it doesn’t support layers. Bazzite is also immutable but thanks to the layers I got the main things fixed, and as it’s based on silverblue there are a lot more resources to check
