From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Probably best that you do the same (installing packages in the FS overlay kind of starts to defeat the point of containerization). You could try installing it with a
distroboxand then exporting the app—see if that fixes your loading issues.I run Bazzite on a gaming laptop from 2015, and I haven't noticed any particularly long load times. Do you have some browser extension(s) that are maybe causing issues?
My only extension is uBlock Origin but it isn't the problem (I uninstalled it to test and nothing changed). Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try to play with distrobox (I'm new to Bazzite and immutable distros).
You can try
rpm-ostreeto install in the lowest userspace layer, but Bazzite purposely switched to flatpak Firefox and discourages installing software usingrpm-ostree, unless you absolutely have to.Oh I forgot about rpm-ostree ty! In this case of flatpak not working it is suggested rpm-ostree or distrobox?
Recommended installation order is:
toolboxshould also be installed on your system, and it works similarly todistrobox, but I'm less familiar with it.Thank you!
