Bazzite is based on Universal Blue, which is based on Fedora Silverblue, which is the first immutable, atomic Linux distro. The immutable nature of Bazzite is the point of it’s existence.

What's the immutable part of Fedora, compared to other distros? Asking because, well, dropping 32bit support is a significant change and something that would make dummies like me not understand what's immutable.

The underlying system is managed by OSTree, which handles the entire system instead of individual packages. You cannot simply change any part of the system, it’s all or nothing. This means stability, security, and effortless rollbacks if anything goes wrong. If you really want to tinker, you can create layers that sit on top of the base system, but it still doesn’t modify the system. It’s a very different way of thinking about how the system works. It’s like working with containers.

It is. I did that and will keep it even if fedora drops 32 bit functionality since I don't need anything 32 bit on my laptop. If bazzite ends I can just rebase to a different variant. The gaming computer I may not have the choice
