Frankly CoconutOS is the one and only true OS.

Quoting: PikoloDo NOT try to run WarThunder with Proton. It will most likely work for playing replays, but you will get banned by Easy AntiCheat if you try playing PvP
Finally, a way to deal with War Thunder addiction.

And among the important additions, there is more soundtrack! The new song in the update is probably by favorite!

Bazzite updated to Fedora 41 with expanded PC gaming handheld support

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGiven the actual plain meaning of the word "immutable" I think that's kind of understandable. What I find weird is deciding to go Humpty-Dumpty and use the word to mean something that's apparently completely different.
And the system still works according to the plain meaning, you just need to actually look at how state change happens. Deployments are immutable unless unlocked (we will ignore overlayfs for now). What is allowed is creation of new deployments, which can add, change or remove packages. Whether the user can affect how deployments are created or not does not affect whether the system is immutable. So, nobody is going "Humpty-Dumpty" here, the terminology is consistently applied, you just have a preconceived notion of what an immutable OS is like, which doesn't match the reality on the ground. I mean, it sure would be a bit awkward if SteamOS was "immutable" in the sense that not a single bit on the root filesystem was ever allowed to change. :)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGotta say, this sounds kind of . . . mutable.
Not really any more than functional programming being able to represent a changing state despite immutable values. Some people just don't have a good grasp of what immutability in this context means, because it definitely doesn't need to mean that nothing is ever allowed to change.

Quoting: ToddLWould the removed packages come back if a new Bazzite update is available and installed on the PC? I know that Steam Deck likes to reset any of the changes you make on the immutable portion of the OS.
Nope, different kind of immutable. SteamOS fully swaps the root filesystem with a new image, rpm-ostree puts down a base image and then applies your overlays on top, including package removals and additions. So, you are fully free to install and remove packages as you need and want to, with the only caveat that if those packages cause conflicts, updates may fail to apply.

Quoting: kftXI wish it wasn't immutable so I could remove stuff I don't want like Lutris. That's the only thing stopping me from doing the Switch on my Steam Deck, really.
Just `rpm-ostree override remove <package>`. It's the same stuff as all the immutable Fedora variants.

Quoting: KlaasI still don't know what's going on. Is it single player or multiplayer? If multiplayer – coop or last man standing or whatever?
Looks like either singleplayer or multiplayer co-op. It's a wave survival shooter, so shoot zombies until you die.
