This is a nonsense talking point, what exactly can't you do with root access on bazzite that you can do on a non-immutable?

the answer: nothing

Accidentally ruin the OS by running random commands?

I'd love to try Bazzite properly, but it doesn't work well in my VM (possible host issues), and I couldn't find a live image to try.

On the contrary. Bazzite sports up to 25% more cryptic commands beyond your comprehension to fumble with on the terminal, than the typical distro.

Now, if you really want to ruin you OS experience forever, I have some NixOS to offer to you.

You could see if it's on DistroSea? Then you can try it through your browser.

It isn't, but that's still a great website.

Thanks for the recommendation!

No, you still can, it'll just be much easier to recover from.
