Not quite. I’ve run into a gaming case where immutability becomes a problem: Syncthing.
If you want to synchronize emulator saves between devices then Syncthing is great at that, but it takes a lot to get around the immutability without relying on unmaintained flatpaks (aka Syncthing-gtk). At least not on Steam Deck, which doesn’t have Syncthing baked into the main distro

Wait, what issues? I have it running on my Steam Deck with Bazzite and my PC with Aurora. I didn’t have any issues.

Setup the headless syncthing container it works great.

No idea what syncthing is, are there issues with the brew version? Looks pretty straight forward.
