Bazzite is perfectly usable for productivity in most cases. I have Aurora DX installed on my work box which comes with libvirtd and other sundries that you need for virtualization. You can do that with Bazzite but it would require layering.
Gotcha. Yeah, that’s been a pain point for me on previous distros. On Bazzite they make it easy with ujust setup-virtualization. I’m not sure if that’s a one-size-fits-all solution but it suits my needs, at least.
I didn’t realize that was a thing! Neat. Do you know what all that includes? On Aurora DX I only had to layer virt-top (virtio-win can be installed as a local package). My use case: I run a Windows VM that uses the discrete graphics card.
I think all it does is install the virt-manager Flatpak and then set a bunch of kernel arguments with rpm-ostree kargs ... depending on various hardware detections.

Good thing is that I just have a distrobox for embedded work that spins up whenever I need.
