State of gaming on immutable Linux distros? (beehaw.org)

I know SteamOS is "kind of" immutable to some degree, but how's it going over on say Fedora Silverblue or openSUSE MicroOS or others?

edit: should also be clear, I'm wondering about SteamVR support too.

I’ve been on Silverblue (well, Kinoite) for quite a while now, and the only issue I remember having was that I had to use flatseal once to give steam access to an external drive when adding a new library folder.

Everything seems to work fine. I’ve never been prevented from playing a game when I wanted to due to immutability or flatpak issues.

I am on VanillaOS and it's a pretty similar situation, although I will say the immutable nature makes it a little harder to find error logs and such.
