Downsides of linux mint
With the advent of containerised software like Flatpak (or apx if you're adventurous) and Distrobox, running a solid LTS release like Mint has fewer drawbacks than ever.
-
Apx v2, is now ready for testing
Download the latest build from our GitHub repository: https://github.com/Vanilla-OS/apx/releases/tag/continuous.
-
Linux Application installation
All Flatpaks can be installed as a user. For any other apps, you can compile & install apx, which lets you run many distros in full performance, host integrated containers in your home directory

Using Apx
Honestly, I would try asking on their github .. seems like it should be possible to run it on Silverblue and based on the description from the main project page (emphasis mine), I would think it should be ok
- I created an alternative package manager to apx
- openSUSE ALP: Call for Volunteers
- Options to move forward from EndeavourOS or stay?
-
Support for Android apps
There is an issue with lxc as stated here: https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/4283 and https://github.com/Vanilla-OS/apx/issues/118

Hod do I change the desktop environment?
You could try using APX or abroot to install XFCE or Cinnamon; check the APX docs: https://documentation.vanillaos.org/docs/apx/
-
I deleted apt somehow and don't have dpkg. I'm running VanillaOS and I have wget. Please help!
Maybe this will help https://documentation.vanillaos.org/docs/apx/

[PSA] If you are having problems running EAC enabled games on Steam, try running Steam through conty
For the glory of mankind he edited his post saying that running Steam through conty (https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty) fixed his problem with EAC enabled games.

Civ6 in a Windows VM?
Have you tried using: Flatpak (use flatseal for other library locations), Conty (use HOME_DIR in case you want to separate it from host's .steam folder), or Distrobox (use Bazzite-Arch image for quick setup)
-
Wine 8.10 Released
nah, there is conty to save the day of not dealing with i386
-
Gaming in Slackware?
Or go the https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty way
-
Portable Arch Linux packed into a single executable
These ideas I'm toying with also is what made me request the non-image option with Conty here (https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty/issues/77) where u/Kron4ek speedily patched an option to do so (ty!). Though I'm still pondering what I'm trying to do and if it would make sense with Conty.
-
Current state of linux application sandboxing. Is it even as secure as Android ?
I'd imagine the sandbox options are bubblewrap presets, though -- you'd probably want to look around conty-start.sh for more details or ask in the GitHub Discussion.
-
The first tip to give to any new Linux user should be "do NOT search for, download, and install software on the Web!"
Have you tried Conty? The best way I could describe it is the combination of distrobox and AppImage. You basically build a single binary (or use the pre-built one the dev made) containing a minimal Arch install and any other packages you listed in the create-arch-bootstrap.sh file.

Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma
Do note that with Nobara having Fedora base, some stuff might not have a Flatpak/AppImage or RPM for you to install easily unlike on Debian/Ubuntu-based (tho PikaOS is Nobara re-implemented under Ubuntu-base, but I haven't tested it). Distrobox and Conty may help you with that, but if you were fine with Steam Deck's limitation, you should be alright under Fedora-based distro.
-
Improved Wine gaming with exeCute
It's why I usually just run Bottles in Conty. nix-unstable also have the latest Bottles builds, though I haven't tested those yet. I don't think the default permissions is a big problem though, just something to note if you store your games outside of areas it has permissions for by default.
