put your coding environment inside distrobox, as long as that works for you (you can test this using any linux distro) it will work in bazzite, but in most cases it will work, you will just have to have everything inside a distrobox or configure vscode flatpak to interact with the distrobox if you use vscode that is.
for AAA games it depends on what games it is, check https://protondb.com and https://areweanticheatyet.com/ if they are competitive games

ever worked with docker containers or lxc containers? or as a stretch, virtual machines?

LONEWOLFOP•5/2/24, 2:42 PM

I have worked with VMs

HikariKnight•5/2/24, 2:44 PM

ok so containers are kinda similar to VMs but they use the host kernel (and also does not have the resource needs that VMs have since hardware does not have to be virtualized)
so if you think of the container as a VM you can just add your programs to and export them to the host, thats the tldr of it

HikariKnight•5/2/24, 2:44 PM

bazzite also has a gui for it included called boxbuddy

HikariKnight•5/2/24, 2:44 PM

HikariKnight•5/2/24, 2:44 PM

HikariKnight•5/2/24, 2:46 PM

you can also make a manifest file where you can pre-define your distrobox with the software you want

HikariKnight•5/2/24, 2:46 PM

my dev boxes are set up like that

as an example i save this as a .ini.ini file and i can use ujust assemble prompt create /path/to/ini/fileujust assemble prompt create /path/to/ini/file
to then regenerate the environment when i need to

Anyone with a Legion Go know if Bazzite 3.0.1 has working suspend?

I have a dumb question again

Do the Nvidia images include something like this?

How'd I update it?

Kyle Gospo•5/2/24, 3:03 PM

Update from gaming mode or system update app on the desktop

from gaming mode how

char•5/2/24, 3:09 PM

do I use the steam deck like update method @Kyle Gospo

char•5/2/24, 3:09 PM

or is it a custom updater I need to run

Kyle Gospo•5/2/24, 3:12 PM

Yeah, normal deck update

HaxBagoosh•5/2/24, 3:22 PM

Hopefully this is the right place to ask questions. If not sorry! But I just installed bazzite on a laptop for my kids to use. I'm the primary administrator user and their account is just a normal user. I've got a second drive in the laptop that I want to be the primary Steam Library for both users. I followed this guide for setting up the drive to automount: (https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=970).
The problem I'm having now is Steam won't add a SteamLibrary in the mounted drive even though it can see it. I'm assuming this is a permissions issue. The above guide mentions setting the mount folder permissions to the current user, but I want both users to access it. Is the solution to create a new group, add both users to it, and make the group owner the group both users are in? Or is there some other way I'm not aware of? Thanks!

Thank you so much for replying with such elaborate answer, one last question, does using a container to create a developer environment and then coding in the said environment have any downside to it as opposed to not using containers as in, how I "normally" would in a "normal" distro?
