Bazzite has a very simple process for installing software that isn’t on Flatpak: You spin up a virtual machine running a better distro and install it there

    If you get used to AUR, Bazzite can be a little tedious.

    I just use my Arch distrobox to access AUR if I need to (though I don’t think I’ve had to).

    rpm-ostree is an adjustment, but now that I understand it more and know all of my options for installing packages, I think it’s fantastic.

      The devs recommend against using rpm-ostree but yeah, distrobox is limitless. It’s just doing things different way. I also like how Bazzite (or Aurora) adds a program as a menu shortcut installed via distrobox, pretty convenient.

        I just mean learning how the ostree shit works in general for the most part. For pinning images and learning how to rollback if needed, etc.

        I try not to install things using rpm-ostree unless absolutely necessary.

        Edit: I probably should have just said “ostree” in the original comment.
