I am running Bluefin immutable distro and I would like to test Niri. I found on the net that the cleanest way is to use systemd-sysext and I have managed to install Niri using the community extensions.

Now I would like to install Dank Material Shell, and it has a couple of pre-requisites and I am clueless how I can add them again with systemd-sysext.

I tried to look for additional information, but found very little on the matter. Do any of you have experience with this?

    Bluefin maintainer here, you’ve described how Bluefin works except it’s ~/.local/bin.

    I am pretty sure we have not been developing package managers lol.

      So if i were to “sudo dnf install neovim” on Bluefin, that would install Neovim to ~/.local/bin?

      I didn’t mean to say that Universal Blue specifically was making new package managers, but that in general new package managers have been created specifically to solve problems introduced by going immutable/atomic/image-based/whatever.
