JI guess I'm just not used to the size of modern SD cards nowadays.
Mi've got 940gb on mine
Myou can go as high as 1.5tb but the 1.5tb ones are either super slow or like $400 lmao
K1TB on mine, they're huge now!

MSo took me far too long to realize why games were defaulting to the steam deck presets.... But for certain games you can turn it off by changing steam launch command to have SteamDeck=0 %command%
BG3 turns off local co-op without it.

Msandisk ultra which is slow as shit
Mand some other brand I never heard of that seemed slightly faster at like 2.5x the cost
VHello! Linux noob here, planning on checking it out again after bouncing off my last Linux advent a couple months back.
VFixing to jump in with
kinoite-nvidia here pretty soon, but I've been looking into Bazzite and I'm curious. Until just recently I assumed it was purely a SteamOS type thing, so what's the difference between regular UBlue Kinoite and Bazzite Desktop? Are they fairly similar, but Bazzite has more gaming-focused drivers and stuff, or does it also have UI/DE overhauls bundled with it?VApologies if what I'm asking is entirely incomprehensible haha, I'll be quite honest I know next to nothing about all this. I'm just wondering if Bazzite Desktop is also trying to be a play-on-your-couch, big-picture mode type thing or if it's literally just UBlue with more gaming stuff bundled in. I'm looking for just a normal desktop experience so I don't really want the former.
Jboth
Jthere's different images for each, on my htpc I use bazzite-deck, which is the big picture ui basically
Jbut on your desktop you can just run normal bazzite
Fdoes bazzite run KDE or GNOME?
Tsince you have a nvidia GPU, you actually only have the choice of the normal desktop version since the version with "Game Mode" doesn't run with the nvidia drivers
Tyour choice
Tthere are KDE and GNOME images
Tdefault Bazzite image is KDE but there's
-gnome variantsFwould you mind linking the GNOME ISO? I just installed the UBUNTU OS on my system and was going to just do the patching myself
FIs that recommended or advised against
Tall of the images are in the regular ISO, you just choose before installing. latest ISO is here - https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/releases/tag/v2.0.2
Tboth are supported
Tit's really just if you like one or the other more
Tif you like GNOME, use the GNOME images. if you like KDE, then use the images without GNOME attached

FI guess worst case, i pull the bazzite .iso and wipe the entire steamdeck, write the bazzite iso over it
VThanks.
VIs the featurelist on https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite#desktop everything that's different from regular uBlue? I'm wondering if there's any UI / KDE changes over the default uBlue. It seems like there is based on what's listed here. I mentioned earlier that I'm looking for a normal Desktop environment, and not a big-picture esque UI, so that's the make or break for me personally.
Tthat link is just for the specific difference with the desktop images. the full feature is part of the desktop image too.
Tbut the only difference with KDE is that it uses Valve's SteamOS theme
Twhich you might not even notice
Tbecause it looks just like Breeze
Twith some minor changes

TSteam and Lutris are also preinstalled
VThank you! Sounds good to me, I'll have to check this out then.
VAnd yeah, your link is what I meant to post lol accidentally pasted the wrong thing
VDumb question, I can change the theme in the future right? I'm guessing that's very obvious but I'd figure I'd ask just in the slim chance it's not because of some weird immutable thing I'm unaware of haha
FWhat's the word on Deck OLED support? I know it was being worked on.
KEverything but changing the refresh rate works
KWorking to fix that now
FOh hell yeah, that's fast! Especially with the holidays. Looking forward to full support and release!

DAlienware m17. 3080, ax210 wifi, Intel 10th Gen I think. Maybe 11th. Has Intel graphics too
VYes, slight thing is that Global themes in KDE can be finnicky because SDDM themes are not supported.
