MODERATORS
I switched back to Steam OS from Bazzite due to some QoL issues on the OLED Deck, and there's definitely some improvements between sound, battery life, and general performance.
Makes sense why they wouldn't want to upstream their work, since it gives them a market edge, but I wish they'd introduce some kind of persistent Overlay FS, so people can install non-flatpack software. Being able to layer packages in Bazzite and utilize things like Distrobox was so nice, and keeping these improvements to themselves means the user has effectively less options.
Doesn't distrobox (and podman) come with SteamOS these days too?
You wouldn't be able to layer, but using distrobox-export from inside a distrobox container would let you export command line apps as well as graphical ones too. The graphical apps will even show up in your menu and can be pinned as well.
(Of course, if something is available on Flathub already as a Flatpak, installing the app via Discover is easier and better. While Flathub has a lot of apps, it doesn't have everything, so being able to pick and choose from any distribution using distrobox is nice for a very large selection of software.)
Oh, does it? I'll have to go check! That's almost as good as layering, especially since you can have anything from Ubuntu to Fedora to Arch.
Edit: Well, I'll be goddamned. It most certainly does have
distroboxandpodmanalready installed!
