      It’s honestly so easy to get into and works, I’m honestly surprised it isn’t suggested more!

      (I use bazzite btw)

    Imagine not using Hannah Montana Linux. I literally can’t do it. Why would you use anything else when all the other distros are so inferior?

    Guy came into my workplace this week and I was saying I was slowly getting into developing a game engine with SDL. When he heard I was using ubuntu he recommended Bazzite, saying he has no trouble with it and uses his machine mostly for gaming. Is it Debian based or something else? At least it’s not that meme distro Arch I guess, might try it

      It’s Fedora based. If you want to develop on it, it supports containerized workflows. There’s a DX version explicitly designed for developers.

    I feel called out, “I use Bazzite btw” is literally a joke I made irl last week.

    Some Bazzite users touch grass and talk to people IRL, surprising, I know.

        In which ways is it better? right now I’m defaulting to bazzite for my desktop as I already got a steam deck.

          Well I can’t speak for everyone, but I noticed significant gains in a couple of the games I played when switching. Specifically Minecraft and Dune: Awakening. I’m getting upwards of 100fps in Minecraft with BSL shaders on ultra now, and I’m playing on a laptop. When I was on Bazzite I was getting less than 60fps with shaders, so I didn’t use them at all.

          Depending on the DE you pick, it can be pretty good on the battery life too.

        openSUSE Tumbleweed made me love my computer again. It also games like I’m not even missing anything from Windoze. NVIDIA GPU and everything. I’m sure there are “better” distros, but openSUSE was the one that got me to stay, and I couldn’t be happier!

    I don’t use Linux yet but when I do change it will be Bazzite btw. (I have an Nvidia graphics card and from the little research I did, Bazzite seems to be a good distro for Linux gaming)

    Can you dual boot it yet with other linuxes? I want to split gaming and productivity.

        Yeah you need to tell grub-mkconfig in /etc/default/grub to run the os-prober on everything during updates and put it in the cfg, but bazzite is immutable and seems to be only configured for parallel windows and it’s own version history. If i read the docs correctly, screenshot in other comment.

        Its not better per se compared to other Linuxes for gaming, just pre-configured to take a lot of the basic setup work out of it for you.

        I tried it out and challenged myself not to touch the terminal to fix anything for as long as I could, to see if it is a truly ready-out-of-the-box experience.

        It is actually very intuitive for gaming, what makes it feel more suited than most distros for me is that flatpak apps that you don’t have installed show up in the start menu, ready to add if you need them. Other OSs are leaner and cleaner but you’d have to know the package name.

        I managed to get everything started, games and stuff including minor tweaks, and the first time I needed to use the terminal was to work out how to get some fan control working. I didn’t succeed in setting it up. So I took away from that experience that low level hardware OS tasks are harder to access in Bazzite.

          Yeah, basically the only thing I really use the terminal for is ujust, a series of scripts maintained by Bazzite themselves. And ujust does have a script to install a GUI fan controller app, btw, which I’ve used to setup my own fan curves, and found it pretty darn usable despite it being the first time I’ve done such a thing.

          The OS is immutable, so you’re probably right that lower level tasks are harder, but Bazzite themselves have stepped in and created a dedicated command for pretty much anything finicky I’ve thought to do in the past year or so.

        I could only find the ugly bios option, normally the os-prober of grub-mkconfig would be configurable to take care of it, but we are immutable there. I assume this is also valid for debian or arch:
