I have Bazzite running on a BC-250 machine. A few weeks ago, I made some changes using rpm-ostree related to zram and swap. I had assumed that, because I used rpm-ostree, the changes would become part of the “tree” and I could rollback to the original settings. But when I went to look at Bazzite’s rollback tools, it seemed solely focused on rolling back to previous official releases, and I couldn’t find any reference to the specific changes I made.
Bazzite’s messaging has merit, but we’d be making a mistake by regarding it as absolute. It makes more sense to take them as carefully written guide lines for a specific audience.
Furthermore. with all due respect, but OP’s writing doesn’t imply installing/managing software with
rpm-ostree. Which, is actually the subject of the documentation entry you quoted. As such, I think you might have misunderstood them.Finally, FWIW, I absolutely disagree with the above. The page you quoted from seems to agree with me on this: “Layering packages are mostly intended for system-level applications, libraries, and other dependencies.”
