  • Basically installing packages. You’re fine if you default to using

    • flatpaks for gui apps
    • brew for cli programs
    • distrobox when building from source or when you need good control over the package environment (e.g. when installing a latex editor and only the latex packages you want)
    • layer packages on host with “rpm-ostree install” when the program needs tight integration with the host (e.g. VPN software)

    Also, you shouldn’t edit files in /usr, but I’ve never run into that limitation. You can still edit other top-level directorys like /etc .

    That’s about it.
