I had the hardest time getting used to the dev stuff with bazzite, do you just use distrobox for installing foss apps and then rpm-ostree for dev dependencies? I heard you can use rpm from inside distrobox (or apt, pacman, etc depending on the container) but wasn't ever sure how to expose that installed executable outside of distrobox
If you want to try it again, the command you’re looking for is distrobox-export, and it needs to be run from inside the distrobox container. It’s basically what allows you to expose software installed in the container so the host can run it directly.
Manual for reference: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/noble/man1/distrobox-export.1.html
I used rpm-ostree for most dependencies, some weren't available and had to be installed manually by downloading the executable.
As for other applications, I found some through the store, but had issues with the ide not seeing my locally installed deps and commands, so had to download the executable for that as well and manually add it to the app list in kde.
Have lamp stack running, as well as a full dotnet core 8-9 and SQL server (this one required docker)
