A Linux power user shares their experience adapting to SteamOS, an immutable Linux distribution on the Steam Deck. The journey involves learning new paradigms like Flatpaks instead of traditional package managers, configuring network tools (Syncthing, NFS, Tailscale) within immutable constraints, and discovering workarounds for system-level tasks. Despite initial confusion and limitations compared to traditional distributions like Debian, the author finds value in the stability and portability of immutable systems, recommending them as worthwhile tools for experienced users willing to adapt their workflows.
