Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.
Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive
Just an fyi, Bazzite does all of that as well. It’s not just gaming, it’s a fully functional OS
So you can install packages? It’s not a fully immutable system?
You install the package and it adds it to your OS image (that re-initializes every time you boot).
They say you should try to avoid it if you can, so if there’s a flatpak use that, if not, then a distrobox with Fedora toolbox for .RPMs or Arch (for AUR and yay) or whatever other distro you choose, then shortcutting it right to your host OS. By this point, you’ve probably already found a way (or three) to get it to work.
If all that doesn’t work, then you can layer packages onto your image by installing the local .RPM using rpm-ostree then rebooting. I’ve only had to do this with my VPN client so far. Only annoyance is that you have to update it manually.
