Portable Arch Linux packed into a single executable
I'm wanting some kind of immutable-ish arch, with all user packages managed by something else like one of these. Also been checking this out https://github.com/jdholtz/pacman-venv which is surprising that it works with just some basic environment variables changing the pacman root and stuff.

Pacman Virtual Environment v0.1
Hi everyone. I just released a new project called pacman-venv. This is a tool that allows you to create virtual environments for Pacman. It works similarly to Python's virtualenv. You can find the project's AUR page here and the source code here.

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)

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.
