why would you run it on a desktop over regular fedora?

Rthere's nothing wrong with using regular fedora but updates are delivered much more smoothly, at least in my opinion as a regular user
VI use Bazzite on my desktop. Basically because I used Fedora Kinoite, and Bazzite has all of the stuff I'd add to my Fedora Kinoite install, so why not use Bazzite?
Ai haven't seen worstation break yet...
VAuto-updates are pretty sweet though 
Ti dont think im ever using stock fedora ever again (dont tell fedora devs that 
)
but it's nice to have a bunch of stuff i would have installed be preinstalled already here

Aalso bazzite presents issues for me, i use stuff like virtualbox that isn't easy to install with flatpak
VIt's basically Garuda but Fedora Kinoite/Silverblue
Ttbf
Ti was already using silverblue and kinoite
VI overlay virt-manager
VIt's one of the exceedingly few packages I do these days
Tlast time i ran workstation was probably in 2020
V@nickname DeckHD might actually be kinda sick with Waydroid
Ai don't like auto updates at all actually 
i have super bad internet (2MB/s down on a good day), the last thing i want is an update when i'm like, gaming or something. my windows gaming pc has updates paused for that reason too

VWell, you can always disable em
VAnd good part is if your WiFi drops, your system isn't totally screwed
Ato give some context how slow my internet is, i updated my steam deck running bazzite and it took an hour
Ait isn't with normal fedora either? it just errors out because it's like hey i can't download stuff rn
Tyeah i will say, a lot of this stuff benefits from having decent internet connection. i used to run 600KB/s down when i had shit DSL that was only in my area before 2014
Ti def would not have installed any of this if that still was my connection lol
VOh yeah
VThere's 2 things Bazzite is kinda not great for in comparison to other distros
VBeing network usage and storage
VStorage is not abhorrent compared to SteamOS
VBut compared to Arch or something?
VYeah
VIt's actually quite similar to SteamOS, cuz flatpak. You might actually be able to make it better if you use distrobox a lot for apps.
Ti was actually shocked bazzite installed on my 16GB chromebook
Aalso ignoring my internet and stuff i need dnf for, i'm also just not ready to try something imo still quite "bleeding edge" on a computer that i spend like 10 hours a day using. like, it needs to work
Tof course it ran out of storage during installing things from the portal
Tbut i was still impressed lol
VBazzite isn't bleeding edge, that's Arch territory
VFedora is "cutting edge"
Ano but like
Athe whole immutable filesystem thing
VOh, fair
Ai get that that's not new, but it's not as proven
V@nickname Do you know how well the waydroid scripts manage non-1280x800 resolutions?
Ti never really worry about my PC failing from this ostree and container technology tbh. im more still concerned about things that can happen no matter the OS, like something with the filesystem messing up or something idk
Twait
Twhat do you mean
Tive only used waydroid on my desktop (1920x1080 res) and it seemed fine
VIf my Deck is 1920x1200, what happens?
VDo I need to change the config manually?
Tyeah idk
Aand yea i have some computers i don't mind experimenting with like my Deck or even my gaming pc, since the deck i don't use daily and the pc is specifically set up to quick reinstall, cuz windows. lmao
my pc has a weird drive layout, a bunch of big drives with all my stuff and a 120gb ssd purely for Windows, so that reinstalls are stupid easy. i just wipe that drive, reinstall windows and i still have all my stuff. takes me like 1 hour from broken OS to gaming lmao

Ti feel like it should be fine?
Abut my laptop is my solid daily, it MUST work, i rely on it way too much
