Neat! Only tried one game so far, and I knew that would work fine already. We shall see how others go.
Ed@Toxic_Flange As I've understood it, the idea is that anything you'd want to install via yum / dnf should be installed via a distrobox. (Which are not read-only, but make it so that you don't have to install directly to the root FS)

That's expected on immutable distros. Either you use brew/flatpak to install apps on the user-level, or you run distrobox. I like brew, because I don't see a point for distrobox, since "ujust update" will also update the brew packages, but not the distros inside your distrobox.

@badnetmask @arcticEdge Yeah I'm not seeing a decent use case for distrobox yet. But missing basic things like 'chsh` ? I get the concept of immutable FS, but allow for the option to install stuff with an overlay or something.. We shall see what the straw that breaks my back is, to drive me away from linux on the desktop again :)
@Toxic_Flange While the preferred way is to use distrobox or brew, you absolutely can layer packages over your OS. I think it's just generally discouraged.

First link I found on the matter, but seems like it covers what you're looking for.
