he was asked just the other day what "distro" he would recommend to someone never used linux that wanted to play games. he quickly answered bazzite or nobara on that one but leaning more towards bazzite as it would be harder to break for a new user

Bazzite is basically the steam deck but for desktops

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:19 PM

and the steam deck

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:19 PM

and other handhelds

One other question

what's the difference between bazzite-deck and Bazzite-ally on ujust update, cuz I installed bazzite-deck on ally

deletedusera7b2x9q•6/8/24, 2:20 PM

But why would you use bazzite over steamOS?

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:20 PM

-ally-ally needed certain things that -deck-deck can't use

Bazzite and SteamOS Comparison on Steam Deck

How similar is Bazzite to SteamOS on Steam Deck hardware? Bazzite should have most of the functionality from SteamOS with Gaming Mode working as intended. Bazzite Steam Deck images include the latest Gamescope and packages, which means we are always ahead of SteamOS in terms of Gaming Mode and Desktop Mode features. The Quick Access Menu (acce...

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:21 PM

performance should generally be the same im sure

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:21 PM

there's some performance tweaks made but it's all edge case stuff im sure

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:21 PM

and we have a newer base if that matters i guess

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:21 PM

obv bazzite gets updates faster

deletedusera7b2x9q•6/8/24, 2:22 PM

But couldn’t valve just incorporate that stuff into steamOS

hive•6/8/24, 2:22 PM

It’s unlikely. They would rather write a scheduler themselves instead honestly

Ddeletedusera7b2x9q But couldn’t valve just incorporate that stuff into steamOS

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:22 PM

steamOS and bazzite are different in a lot of ways

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/8/24, 2:22 PM

fedora atomic desktop does not work like their A/B arch linux setup

Yea ones runs natively and is built for it

Oh I'll have to update, vrr fixed on ally yet or still issues? Cuz don't wanna update from a rollback

HikariKnightOP•6/8/24, 2:23 PM

if i was going to use my deck more as a desktop i would put bazzite on it
but i want to keep my deck stock for a few reasons

1. try replicate an issue in steamos to make sure i dont gaslight myself

2. i want my deck to be more slow rolling and "stable" in loose terms

on my legion go i am going bazzite no matter what
