I have a spare SSD (messing with which was the subject of my aforementioned FAFO), so Iām not opposed to trying new things. Iāve also heard about layering and ostree before, but never taken the time to understand them in depth. Maybe when Iāve next got some time off, Iāll spend a day or three toying around with it. Itās been a while since my last distro hop (currently using Nobara, so Fedora isnāt entirely new ground to me).
If I did want to mount something at boot in the manner of fstab ā putting aside the āwhyā, this is just technical curiosity ā what would be the idiomatic way to achieve that?
I just use the KDE partition manager. I havenāt had to mess with mounting anything via command line once since installing Bazzite, so Iām not sure if thereās another way to edit fstab (there usually is, itās just recommended against unless you have no other options).
Yeah, if youāre familiar with Nobara/Fedora, then you already have a leg up. Bazzite is based on, I believe, Kinoite. It is just optimized for gaming, and it includes a ton of ujust ārecipesā (pre-made scripts basically) to add/remove gaming-related functions, among other things. For example, I just type āujust updateā into the terminal and it updates everything, including firmware, flatpaks, local packages, etc.
It just works. Itās very beginner friendly, but donāt let that turn you off. Thereās a lot you can do, you just need to do it a different way than youāre used to.
Edit: I just saw you said āat boot.ā As I said, I donāt know beyond the gui partition managerā¦ Iām sure there is a way, because it must be a relatively common thing that people run into.
Side note, if youāre troubleshooting, or looking for info on Bazzite and canāt find what youāre looking for, try searching for āsilverblueā instead as itās very similar.
I imagine the partition manager requires sudo permissions though? I generally keep my admin account separate from my normal working/gaming accounts, both for security and also to put another hurdle between myself and dumb decisions.

Oh yeah you still use sudoā¦ Iām probably doing a really bad job at explaining this lol
You do still have admin priviliges for everything else, itās just your OS partition that is locked down.
