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.

You have complete access to the AUR via Distrobox. Also, how do you conclude that it has "many issues"? I do get that Bazzite might not be for everyone, but please, elaborate.
Since its immutable, I imagine that a lot of apps may not "just work" and need special packaging or configuration. But I havent used it. What would you say? Apps just work or they need anything special? Will Flatpaks work?
Flatpak works just fine, as it installs to the user directory and not any immutable part of the filesystem. Any non-flatpak apps can be ran in distrobox.
Distrobox seems to be a container... I wonder how well that works with applications following system themes and being able to be seen in app launchers.
Its interesting but my experience is that usually you do get some issues with solutions where apps are not native.
