My bad. Thank you for clarifying!
~~> plus sudden updates that nuke active applications.~~
~~This is not what's supposed to happen. If an app installed through flatpak is active while it's receiving an update, then the update is not supposed to affect the running application until it's closed/restarted.~~
Edit: Somehow I didn't realize the concern was raised against Snap and not Flatpak.
I agree that flatpak should just invoke flatpak uninstall --unused right after uninstalling a flatpak. I don't get why it doesn't do this automatically. Granted, some distro package managers (used to) operate somewhat similarly in that they required the autoremove option.
They have their place, but they can’t really completely replace traditional distros.
As it stands, I kinda agree. But I truly wonder to what extent we might be able to close the current gap.
Would you mind elaborating?
I don’t remember how exactly this happened, but killswitch option in Linux ProtonVPN client somehow got broken in a way that I couldn’t connect to internet at all because killswitch was activated and couldn’t disable killswitch at the same time, I had to create another user and remove previous one. It also bombarded me with some errors regarding “kdewallet” that I don’t understand. Worth noting, I’ve been using this client with killswitch on many Gnome distros before and never had this issue anywhere else.
FWIW, the thing with killswitch it not due to Bazzite, nor KDE. There's a f*ck load of user reports all over the internet with different systems that have experienced the same thing; e.g. this one by a GNOME user on Pop!_OS. As for your criticism on kdewallet, I was also bothered by it the last few times I engaged with KDE Plasma. I suppose I was doing something wrong. Regardless, it was an unpleasant experience.
Packages are out of date even in the unstable branch (I know it’s unfair since it’s not trying to be a rolling release… but… but…)
Sure, some packages are outdated. But in terms of percentage of up-to-date packages, it's (AFAIK) the best out of any distro repo. And that's perhaps even more impressive of a feat when realizing it also sports the biggest repo. For actual stats: https://repology.org/repositories/statistics/pnewest
I wish you the best of luck at/with whatever you end up doing! May your system be protected from bit rot, config drift and/or problems caused by hidden state!
Thank you! I'm looking forward to what y'all are cooking for us.
Immutable structure creates difficulties for customization (more applicable to desktop systems than handhelds/custom consoles).
FWIW, it seems that 2/3 of Bazzite's user base uses it (primarily) as a game console anyways.
My apologies fam for not being able to help out much (if at all) 😅. FWIW, for related~ish reasons, I intend to explore the waters of NixOS within a couple of weeks. What are your plans?

- There may be some additional biases, due to whoever used ProtonDB.
- Flatpak is NOT a distro, but that’s what Steam reports when it’s running on Flatpak, and Flatpak being distro independent we report it as a separate environment, if that makes sense. Feel free to ignore it if you wish.
- Arch Linux is Arch Linux on desktop. The Steam Deck’s OS is reported as HoloISO, not Arch Linux, so stop trying to claim that Arch is first because of the Steam Deck! This is mainly data reported from desktop PCs, so no, SteamOS is not a thing at the moment on such machines. This may change as Valve starts providing official support beyond the Steam Deck.
