bazzite-arch

Bazzite-Arch is a ready-to-game Arch Linux based OCI designed for use exclusively in distrobox. It can be used on any Linux distributon by following the usage section below.

Usage

distrobox-create --unshare-netns --nvidia --image ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch --name bazzite-arch -Y

_{For the GNOME desktop environment, you may want to replace ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch in the above command with ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome, which comes with xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. For Intel and AMD GPUs, the support is baked in, as the containers will install their latest available mesa/dri drivers.}

Once the image has been created, you may optionally export the pre-installed applications to your host operating system using the following:

distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- '  distrobox-export --app steam'
distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- '  distrobox-export --app lutris'
distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- '  distrobox-export --app protontricks'
distrobox-enter -n bazzite-arch -- '  mkdir -p ~/.steam && distrobox-export --bin /usr/bin/steamcmd --export-path ~/.steam && mv ~/.steam/steamcmd ~/.steam/steamcmd.sh'

Bazzite-Arch is built from arch-toolbox, which ships with paru pre-installed, along with a modified xdg-utils that allows the container to open your host operating system's web browsers and file explorer.
