Is this a totally crazy idea? Talk me down before I hurt myself.

      Not all. Cups doesn’t seem to work in distro box and even if it does printer drivers won’t.

      Others like tailscale need (last time I checked) 3rd party scripts to even install, so possible but not trivial without research.

      For context, I use Bazzite for home/work/gaming and there are a few use cases I couldn’t make work without installing packages.

        Appreciate the info! I’ve been interested in immutable distros, but that would be a pretty big issue for my main PC.

          Just one thing, SteamOS is specially tricky for this as it doesn’t support layers.

          Bazzite is also immutable but thanks to the layers I got the main things fixed, and as it’s based on silverblue there are a lot more resources to check
