From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Even if you know how to do stuff, I’d avoid doing ostree on a universal blue derivative.
I been using Linux for 25 years and just recently embraced the “don’t break Debian” part of the backport manual.
Stuff you do and don’t document or don’t force yourself to recognize comes back to bite you years later when you can’t use the normal tooling in order to deal with it.
Anyway, good luck, it sounds like you’ll be fine.
And it's this right here that forces me to really consider if Bazzite is right for me in this case (and why I didn't just immediately go with the easier
rpm-ostreeoption). Podman is kind of a necessary tool, at least currently, and if your use case falls outside flatpaks, rpm-ostree, and appimages, it's Podman or bust (and I currently have an app like that, which I haven't yet figured out).I appreciate your experienced advice. I have probably a total five years of experience, so I would be foolish not to consider to the long-timers offering similar advice in these comments.
