Emacs for Bazzite

Heads up for package maintainers or emacs users.

I noticed the #emacs maintainers asking which builds they should recommend for specific distos.

I noticed SilverBlue and Atomic on the list, but I don’t see Bazzite or Aurora .

Apparently, some build play better with X11 and others with Wayland.

The default package for fedora is pgtk which works well in desktop mode. The compile flags are pretty sane.

I would recommend against the flatpak due to it not being pgtk and not having native comp by default. Additionally, emacs likes having access to outside tools so it’s incredibly awkward to use.
