Is bazzite better than fedora kde for desktop use?
OMaybe I'm biased (rocking Bazzite on my daily driver laptop and Steam Deck) but I think it's pretty solid for desktop use
OBazzite is what made me jump ship from Windows finally lol
SDepends on what you want to do.
I like Bazzite for desktop because it's container based, an update will never ruin your system, and has batteries included (like updated graphics drivers)

Mthe only reason I initially switched from fedora workstation to ublue is because I couldn't install nvidia drivers and have them function
Mand just kepts with it
OFor general use, most applications are available as flatpaks, Steam and Lutris are there for games. If you need a more in-depth system, Distrobox is there and is very tightly integrated to the point where I forget it's not the base system sometimes
Mthough, went from the silverblue images to bazzite because the steam RPM wouldn't install the silverblue image
Khi all i have a question, does nested desktop work with bazzite-deck-gnome?
OI see no reason why it wouldn't..?
KNever has with gnome and no longer works with kde plasma 6
KI used it a lot too, but it's been fine just switching to desktop mode at least for my use cases.
Mis there a way to get discord activity status working with steam
Kthnx
AAlso, is there a problem with installing bazzite Nvidia from a ventoy drive?
SVesktop, and the open source rich presence server implementation
ARead somewhere that they had issues
SNested desktop has been removed in the latest fedora 40/Bazzite 3.0 update, as it's not fully supported there yet.
More about it in the latest Bazzite Buzz

Kim an arch user thinking to try out bazzite
Khow do you add packages to the immutable system and have them carried over during update
Ki see layering isnt recommended
DUse homebrew/distrobox
DI recommend homebrew for cli apps and flatpak for GUI
Kahh but distrobox doest do hardware acceleration
DIt does
DI'm literally making unity games with distrobox last year
DWith nvidia gpu
Koh really ok ill try it out messa here
DMess should works ootb
KIt's not a VM
KRuns right on your kernel
KAll hardware should be supported
Klead to my other question how can i run a vm like vmware on bazzite
DYou can't do that
Vmware kernel module is not packaged as kmod
Vmware kernel module is not packaged as kmod
Mi mean there's
ujust setup-virtualization which will setup virt-managerMbut I couldn't get gpu passthrough to work
FYou can use Gnome Boxes flatpak if you don't need big integration with the system
Kactually work allot with vmware
Kneed the video accel that comes with vmware
DLibvirt can do gpu acceleration for linux guest
MAnd you could passthrough a gpu for a windows guest for that afaik
Mif you get it working
DWith virtio and venus
Kye ill figure out thnx for the responses
DFor windows guests there is wip windows driver for virtio
AWould battery better the battery life on my gaming laptop?
AOr should I be using something like tlp
ZI think bazzite comes with something called powertop if I'm not wrong. Or at least my installation came with it
