can also use a fedora distrobox container if nothing really has to be at a system-level using a similar method but the way described there with rpm-ostree is ok even with the downsides of layering

But replacing copr with rpm-ostree doesn't seem to work?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7mo ago

read the documentation download the .repo file and save it into /etc/yum.repos.d then you install the package with rpm-ostree then you reboot

Ok gotcha - I've navigated to where the yum.repos.d are, but I don't see a .repo file on github? Totally new to all this

ah you have to make it yourself and save it there they didnt provide one

[copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:sunwire:envycontrol]

put that in a text file and save it as _copr_sunwire-envycontrol.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d

Excellent ok - I "admin'd" into the folder, created that repo file, and put it in there. How do I "call" that repo in bazzite to make it "run"?
