I set my homelab up on Bazzite immutable with podman and SELinux. It took a while to work everything out and have it boot up into a valid state hahaha
Any reason you chose Bazzite for your homelab distro? First I've heard of someone doing that!
At the start I just wanted a desktop machine that runs Steam through sunshine/moonlight so hardware support and gaming stuff such was very important.
My homelab used to run on my laptop when it could all fit within a couple 100s of GB and I was the only user but moving it was tricky. Since I'm a programmer I'm not afraid of this stuff so I just spent the hours to figure out one problem at a time.
I ended up figuring out adding HDD whitelist in SELinux, make it accessible in podman, manually edit fstab because tools didn't work, systemd service for startup, logging in automatically where I already forgot everything and would have not had to do any of this on a bog standard Ubuntu server.
Respect! I too often take it for granted that it's a privilege for my gaming rig and my homelab server to be separate boxes.
My server is Almalinux, my laptop is Mint, and my gaming rig is Nobara. But if I had to consolidate everything in to one machine, I'd pick Nobara.
I came to the same conclusion, Nobara for would have been best.
