Can you point me the way to read about how to run Bazzite desktop?
I'm currently running Ubuntu 22.04 Server as host, headless (using Nvidia's xorg.conf for virtual display), Ubuntu Desktop. I normally access my machine via TigerVNC server or Sunshine server.
Right now I've installed Distrobox, created a running Bazzite-arch-gnome container, (all the docker + Nvidia container toolkit configured)
And how do I spin up this xdg-desktop-portal-gnome? I installed TigerVNC inside the container but the VCN is still looking for Xsession.
I'm fairly new to Linux and Docker, so if anyone can point me the direction where to read/watch to move forward, I'll really appreciate it.

The bazzite-arch image isn't a VM, it doesn't have it's own desktop environment for you to VNC into
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking
We also don't support docker at all
It might work, but we simply can't support it, especially on Nvidia
Let's forget that I'm running headless, but normal desktop Ubuntu with distrobox
Distrobox create a container using Bazzite-arch-gnome. (ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch-gnome:latest)
From what I understand, I can "export" app from the container to run on the host (in this case: Steam, Lutris)
Is this correct?
I saw articles about running Windows managr / Desktop environment with distrobox (https://cloudyday.tech.blog/2022/05/14/distrobox-is-awesome/)
So I was trying to use Bazzite on thie scenario.

Distrobox is Awesome
What is Distrobox? Distrobox is a project that I learned about a few months ago from Fedora magazine. Distrobox is a piece of software that will allow you to run containerized terminal and graphica…
Yes that's correct
If you wanted steam for instance, just:
distrobox enter bazzite-arch
distrobox-export --app steam
Bazzite-Arch doesn't have any window manager/DE installed in it at all for you to export, you'd have to install it yourselfThank you for the fast reply.
What confuses me is this image, you can see the gitHub page
https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite-arch/pkgs/container/bazzite-arch-gnome
It comes with this xdg-desktop-portal-gnome which I don't know how to run it

Bazzite 1.0 - Universal Blue
Custom Operating System images based on Fedora
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is for file portals
IE: an application I've installed in the box opens a native gnome file browser on the host when browsing for files
there's nothing to turn on or use
OK
Bazzite Desktop is also another thing entirely, that's a Fedora OCI image
bazzite-arch is the container meant for use in distrobox
which can be used anywhere, and is used by bazzite desktop to run Steam & Lutris
OK
Thanks very much.
