Bazzite has a very simple process for installing software that isn’t on Flatpak: You spin up a virtual machine running a better distro and install it there

Until the keys change. And you spend forever wondering why it updates every day only to realize it was the same update over and over and over, and the only way they announce they broke things is a GitHub issue.
I love Bazzite, daily it on my gaming PC. But imutable distros do have challenges, and installing non-standard software is defintlately one of them.
Keys for what? Bazzite? When did this happen?

Yes, this did happen, but also, they fixed it, and owned up to and totally explained their mistake.

I dunno, I fixed it at the time because I saw the post but I had to go digging a bit. I think they could have done a better job of disseminating that information wider.
I don’t disagree with you that they could have better publicized it.
I think the project got massively more popular more rapidly than the devs expected… and coder type people are rarely also PR type people at the same time.
Oh so before I started using it
They also announced it on their discord server, fyi.
