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 don’t technically consider container images as virtual machines proper…but what do I know.

    Hey checkout DistroShelf.

    And APPIMGs aren’t so bad. Brew is nifty as well.

      I though BoxBuddy was installed by default on uBlue distros? It works quite well, too.

        I can confirm that BoxBuddy is installed by default on Bazzite.

        I think some people just haven’t read the documentation, and think it’s flatpak or bust.

        It is indeed.

        Just saw Jorge mentioned DistroShelf as being new, on Mastodon, so I was sharing here.
