Bazzite lead developer here, we actually never used the flatpak. Our first release had it installed in a distrobox container on the desktop images. Deck images always had RPM Steam because Steam is essentially functioning as a desktop environment there. We moved them both to be RPM for support consistency reasons.
It’s the same RPM that’s installed in workstation from RPM fusion. There’s nothing custom about that.
Gamescope is also an RPM, it’s a slightly newer version than what Fedora packages but it’s packaged the exact same way. Neither of those are likely to break because they are fundamental to the basic functionality of the deck images.
Additional pre-installed packages are added, but existing packages are not touched.
It’s immutability comes directly from silverblue and kinoite, again nothing custom there.
I’m not sure what you mean by that, it’s directly built on Fedora which is probably one of if not the best workstation OS.
The very first release was actually a steam deck release, the desktop release came later.
For me it’s foldables, those have come a long way in a short time and I find them to be very compelling.
Once they perfect it though it’s going to be back to the same stale shit.
No the article you are replying to, lay off the crack.

Oh wait

Yes they do, and you can bet that’ll go away as soon as Apple thinks x86 isn’t important (to them).
The desktop image was the first image we made, and that same install is what Bazzite is still built on today :)
