    I’m seriously considering Bazzite now. Can you explain whether something like LaTeX with custom packages would work? I also don’t want to redownload the LaTeX packages to vanish after a system update.

    Also, I’m a tiling window user (i3). Will it be possible to use it in desktop mode?

      As per my other comment:

      Do your latex work inside a distrobox and you’re fine.

      I’m not sure if you can layer another window manager on top. You may have to create a custom image for that

      Bazzite is exclusively KDE, and I honestly don’t think it’s possible to run a different desktop manager on it.

      Edit: Sorry, my mistake, there’s the option for GNOME as well. But I don’t think they recommend even switching between them on an install.
