Should work fine, bazzite even has a premade one, try it:

distrobox create --nvidia --image ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-arch --name bazzite-arch

Out of curiosity what’s the reason to run games in a distrobox container instead of just running them in the host os?

The immediate advantage is that you could get newer mesa in your distrobox but continue to use a stable one in the host so that it doesn’t fuck up your more important work. I switched to using containers or flatpaks for everything on my system a while ago. I have a distrobox for running odd games I get off Itch and stuff like Steam/Bottles is from flatpak. I even run Silverblue now and haven’t had any major issues for about 2 years at this point. Hell I was switching between GNOME 45 Beta and 44 Stable like it was no big deal.

I’m using the proprietary drivers anyway, afaik Mesa still isn’t as performant as Nvidia is it?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
