I just switched to Bazzite recently and have been using containers through podman/docker for anything not on Bazaar. But what do people mean when they say "layering" on an immutable distro? I'm very much still new at this

You can layer packages not in the base image. This effectively installs that package. Except by default the "installation" will not take effect until the next boot.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
