I haven't tried that. I've installed other third-party RPMs on rpm-ostree distributions, so it should be possible -- but I don't know if the VBE pack has any specific issues. If you're willing to fuss with it, I bet the community around Fedora Atomic/Silverblue or the UBlue/Bluefin folks would be happy to try to help you on their forums / mailing lists / whatever.

Or stick with regular distros for a bit longer - there's so much work going on in that area, it's bound to get easier as time goes on.

problem with vbext is that it's in fact not a RPM but something akin to an AppImage and their rules prevent redistribution of it being repackaged in a RPM. Arch doesn't care, PKGBUILD from AUR just spits out the pkg, but other distros aren't smart like that.
