From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How much different is setting up immutable distros like Bazzite? I like the concept but I've been too intimidated to try it out.

Having to install things mostly through flatpaks works seamlessly until it doesn't. Then you're stuck in dependency hell where you have to open holes in your containers to allow access to files or binaries.

I'm at a point where I layer enough software that I don't know If there is still value added.

This has always been my concern with relying on Flatpak. It is only as simple as your requirements are it seems.
