Pretty much the title. Maybe to add a bit of a backstory: Bazzite was awesome at first, all games ran on the first try!!

But then: I still haven’t installed my vpn, let me quickly do that. Oh wait, there’s no flatpak for my vpn, that’s right.

Aight, lemme first install tlp and get these laptop fans under control. But wait, how? There’s no flatpak. If I install it in distrobox, it has no effect, which kinda makes sense.

Whatever, lemme try auto-cpufreq. No flatpak, so distrobox it is. To no surprise, it fails. “System has not been booted with systems as init system.”

Same with Goverlay. So then I just fell back into my chair and screamed: “How the hell do I install stuff on Bazzite to control my laptop?!”

    Exactly, ublue and in turn bazzite basically (oversimplification) add their own “layers” on top of fedora silverblue/kinotie, basically doing the same thing you do when using rpm-ostree.

    I’m so happy to hear it! I’ll put off searching, for now :). If you do find the answers you should definitely post in this thread, I’m curious and others might find this thread when they encounter the same problems. No problem! I’ve had a lot of help from the community, so just paying it forward!
