Agreed. I’m a software dev and I also have a ton of weird and niche hobbies I use my PC for and I’ve never run into anything I felt like Bazzite prevented me from doing. Even if they didn’t offer the super convenient developer edition.

For example, the immutable root partition doesn’t stop me from adding udev rules in /etc.

In fact, DistroBox gives me the freedom to use any package from any distro I want, including the Arch AUR.

Anyone who says Bazzite is “too limiting” doesn’t understand how it actually works.

Why is an immutable distro a hurdle to using Rust? Rustup installs the toolchain and cargo into your home folder by default regardless of your distro.

+1 for Bazzite. It’s the non-distro that gave me the confidence to ditch Windows entirely last year after using Linux for work and occasional things for over a decade.
