You don't play big multiplayer titles anymore because you have no social life, how does that work? o_O
Because the only social I wanna be on the computer is this place :D
Kernel access
When using bazzite, my distro of choice, everything is basically isolated from everything else. Anything that isn't a proper package (ie, taken from flathub) only has access to whatever you grant it.
But
It makes it really annoying when you want it to access nfs and other network shares because I am sure I have to give each container / file access to the local network if they want to see those files.
Also
It hasn't broken my OS yet, but I think I broke my conda python environment when I was playing around with some AI image processing stuff to bring back some photos from the brink :D
Fair XD
I'm probably going to at least attempt Kinoite (or possibly Aurora) on a future laptop I'm trying really hard to save up for (I did have enough for it and then stuff happened -_-). I have a feeling it's going to do my head in given my previous experiences with Flatpaks and our more recent experience with spinning up a Silverblue kiosk for work (that's actually gone pretty well, there's just some interesting bugs that has us scratching our heads).
I really want to like containerisation but it does my head in because of problems like the one you described.
Wops XD Did you manage to fix it? And were you able to rescue the photos?
On my server, Unraid handles it well, with you able to define mountponts as accessible to the containers. It feels harder (and honestly, haven't looked) as to how to do that to the ... applications that aren't natively part of the bazzite thingo.
I may yet move to another distro, I did mint for a while, but that's just green ubuntu. I do like the fedora side of things as bazzite is quite optimised for gaming, with wayland etc; but I will probably one day end up on arch (EndeavourOS) - will just need to learn much more as it doesn't naively support discover app, and using the repositories is FINE, but being somewhat new to the OS, I like being able to have a curated list of stuff to choose from and try out before going down rabbit holes of the Arch User Repository.
Can just make a new one... lol Yes, the photos were rescued; they were just out of focus with a touch of motion blur, amazing what you can do with with SD and comfyui these days :D
Worst case scenario I just reinstall my distro
best case scenario I actually use snapshots or disk images
I feel like everyone goes through Ubuntu/Mint at some point :D I'm pretty sure Ubuntu was My First Distro(tm) way back in the early 2000s x_x
Think the hardest thing about Arch outside of the install ("they" don't seem to like people using archinstall but I think that's how most people install Arch, I have gotten J to do the partitioning because I can't always maths correctly, home goes on its own drive pretty much always, I'm starting to put srv on its own partition now after accidentally blowing away websites too many times and only just recently thought about putting things like tmp and local in their own partitions but it seems like a thing one would only do if pedantic) is that they really depise you using the software centres (at least they did back when I was using it) and just want you to pacman everything. I don't care as I command line my servers anyway (no gui) but I think it's unnecessarily hostile/unfriendly for normal users.
AUR is fine for the most part anyway as long as you don't install anything that clashes with a base package (my biggest paranoia) and you're only in there because there's stuff you want that isn't in the main repos or the one in the main repos won't do what you need.
Yay for rescuing the photos!
Really the only things I want to install are steam / gog / epic games, and Lutris does a pretty good job of handling that without needing exotic packages.
For Python stuff, I just need to be more responsible about using v-envs properly. I'm lazy and am always thinking ... what if this dependency needs this other dependency... then you end up with different versions of different things needing different dependencies.
It is a bit like a MMO or RPG - satisfy the dependencies. But only the specific ones at high tide, when the constellations are as such...
Does it not try to install them or at least tell you when it needs stuff?
Yes, Python is very good at this but as a human with a limited tolerance for interpreting long strings of alpha numeric version numbers, it takes time to reconcile and get the appropriate version of a library.
Kind of like this xkcd comic
I remember that one XD
