- ThatMedicIsASpy 4y agoImmutable OS - non flatpak stuff vanishes after a major update. Use podman + distrobox/toolbox to keep things and install packages - similar to Fedora Silverblue. As I said my display situation is a bit weird. On the dock I have two 1080p monitors. KDE Panels sometimes disappear and need to be moved. https://i.imgur.com/Ipvj8L4.png https://i.imgur.com/Ipvj8L4.png (eDP is build in display) Other than that there is a complete silence in my room and I don't need much stuff for web dev. The only desktop game I play is dota 2 and I can live with lowered gfx settings.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4y agoImmutable can be turned off if you wish but as I said it will overwrite/reset these parts with a major update. Ansible or scripts could recreate what you desire but I go the distrobox route.
- mldbk 4y agoI use it alongside with my main PC, macbook pro 14. I decided not to alter rootfs, so I left it in RO mode. Instead I installed everything I need via flatpak and installed homebrew to have a build tools, compilers and so on. Using thunderbolt monitor makes it a decent work horse. Basically some days I commute only with steam deck to my office, because I have monitor, keyboard and mouse there as well. EDIT: I work on 4K monitor. And by the way, I have a running VM on my steam deck just in case I need something extra.
