I’m currently trying out Bazzite, and everything is smooth, except one thing: I can’t get V2Ray-based apps (V2RayN, Nekoray etc.) to tunnel the VPN traffic. As I couldn’t find much online, asking here - did anyone successfully run V2Ray on immutable distros generally and Bazzite specifically? What should be done to make it work?

(An obvious solution - installation via rpm-ostree - does not help, and I need V2Ray specifically)

    Alrightie, this worked! I did install Throne. As per sudo before rpm-ostree - it’s not necessary, it just asks for su password if you run it without sudo.

    So, Throne came up with another error, it was unable to change file ownership in /usr directory (of course it couldn’t, it’s an immutable system)…and then it got me.

    I read into the errors given by v2rayN, and checked it on a non0immutable distro…and indeed, my subscription list got blocked right when I started testing TUN on Bazzite a few days ago. Case closed, Bazzite has nothing to do with it.

    But, I learned something about Bazzite repo management, which will be valuable going forward. Thanks a lot for so much effort figuring things out!
