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

    I can… and I have… and this has resulted in destabilzation.

    … This is why I am asking for help, if anyone has figured this out… and why I am not asking for permission to continue to flail about ineffectively.

    As far as I can tell, as ludicrous as it seems… setting up a distrobox with an actual mainline fedora build, then configuring it as a dev enviroment, then building an rpm package for i2p, from source inside this container… and then installing that static rpm into actual Bazzite OS…

    That would probably at least be more stable for Bazzite as a whole, just feeding it a single, extra, static package, as compared to source dependency hell…

    But I have no idea if I2P would… actually compile correctly… and… work.

    Although, I have managed to build Godot, a few versions ago, doing this, just as an experiment… and it … seemed to… mostly work?

    ???

    There were lots of fun unique error messages in the console that just did not exist anywhere else online.
