Great for the average user because they don't have to really understand any of the systems involved or anything, just pick a stop and off it goes, but if you try to go off the beaten path at all, you'll probably find yourself having to work around the immutable nature pretty quickly. You can't just go anywhere with it like you would a car. There's a program that I had installed that for some stupid reason doesn't let you log out on the Linux version and it auto logins as well, so if you log into the wrong account like I did when I installed it, you have to delete the user data from it. In Bazzite, it turns out that you can't just go into the folder and do it manually, you have to use a specific application that comes with Bazzite to delete user data from an application. A minor annoyance, but I did have to go off the rails a little to solve the issue compared to how I would've handled it on Windows. permalink fedilink source parent
