Dalso one more question regarding linux
/home is all my data that I need to back up and the rest is no problem for bazzite

Dand /run/media is connected drives that will not be affected with system wipe or failure to boot
IHowdy all, I'm mid-move from windows to fulltime linux, and been distro hopping. Came across Jorge's bluefin vids and got hooked. Currently trying out Aurora, but, I am a bit confused if it was the best choice overall, and having a few other issues. Hoping to find some advice to move forward for the final base system.
Been a linux admin for ... a very long time ;p But, that is server/hosting. Desktop is a whole new thing.
I was Really close to settling on Garuda before seeing Jorge's container-model.
Issues:
-Bazzite, Bluefin or Aurora.
-btrfs or zfs base (I'm leaning btrfs, but moved to zfs on lab/server)
-AMD issues... 7900xtx, what are the best drivers (incl. rocm) and, how to tell which I have.. and, how best to install them under OCI?
-Audio problem. Every linux distro exhibits for me, ALC1220 (Realtek). Audio ports all fubar. I flail-fixed it -once- losing it after reboot, and cannot replicate -_-)
-Ryzen 5900, 64g, Aurous gaming7 x470, Rad.7900xtx
-Gen. work, some gaming (wow, star citizen, eve, rpg not fps)
-AI workloads. This is the tough one. Need to get stablediff to work at best speed, and windows cannot do rocm. (zluda dead). Do LLMs and voice also, and I expect accel-AI to be in games/apps galore soon.

VI mean they're all based on fedora atomic (ublue) each version comes with an assortment of different things in the iso. I'm not sure about work (it depends what you mean I guess) But for gaming Bazzite has gotten my old gaming PC back up and running after replacing windows
Vsince you have an an AMD gpu you'll have less to do once you fresh install bazzite
Vit comes with the tools to manage game related stuff OOTB so you don't really have to install anything other than grab proton-GE 9.7 (which you can do OOTB)
Cjust installed, working really well so far! however hdr is not working on my hdr compatible tv with an HDMI 2.0 cable. If I go to Settings > Display, the Enable HDR toggle is greyed out and states 'Current display does not support HDR'. Is this something I need to enable outside of gaming mode? I'm using a AMD 6700 XT if that helps
CI believe HDR outside of gaming mode is currently not supported outside of using nested gamescope
CI'm in gaming mode, I was just wondering if it had to be toggled on outside of gaming mode. I'll try something rq to see if it helps
JI have a 7900XTX, all the gaming and AI stuff works out of the box
CIt might, though I don't use KDE and am not familiar with the current HDR implementation there
Jzfs is currently a non-starter on the desktop images, (out of kernel driver, fedora moves fast, etc.) though we do have it on the ucore server image
CYou can rebase between Bazzite and Bluefin, though if you'll install Steam anyway just go for Bazzite. Just beware switching between DEs as it isn't recommended through rebasing.
OI'll be sad if I have to move to Gnome to get VR working tbh
Cit turns out my TV input was in compatibility mode since it was labeled as 'computer', so it was technically restricted to HDMI 1.4 functionality. Fixed now 
CGreat to hear
IWork means needing full audio/vid-cam/window sharing through Teams, and a win-only cloud-voip app, plus global-protect vpn for some internal web access. I haven't fully figured out the best way to accommodate that yet. Made a win10 VM on server, and testing out the remote audio via RDP. I use a lot of screen realestate while working.
I'm currently on Aurora, and not quite sure how the apps/pkgs are best installed, etc, or how to see what is installed. I'm new to Radeon on linux, and have not had great exp. on win with it either. (Moved from 2080) .
I did notice 'ujust setup-virtualization' isn't in aurora, though... so I am assuming there is a lot of diff there between the spins.

II assumed btrfs was the better of the two for desktops, and my first times using it on laptop/garuda to undo a borked upgrade was monumentally satisfying. zfs snaps on my server have also been insanely effective. (My son's ultra modded minecraft server gets snapped multiple times/day... ) The idea of slow full copy backups (as first line) is a joke now, never again ;p
ADo I have to switch to a different release to use HDR?
CStill need to learn
rclone
Daurora-dx has virtualization preinstalled with virt manager
Ddoes the ujust command for setting up qemu/kvm also install/setup virgl?
DYou need to configure yourself for virgl
Its not hard
Its not hard
Ddo you know of a good resource, i can't find a good doc on it that's not outdated
KHey I activated secure boot, after installing bazzite without secure boot.
Is it possible to get this working?
Is it possible to get this working?
KIf it doesn't work now all it means is you never enrolled our key
KThere's a command in ujust to do that
KYes I did not ...
KThen you can enable secure boot
KOkay so deactivate secure boot, boot into bazzite, enroll the Key and activate secureeboot again?
KYep
KMake sure you actually enroll the key
KAlright Ty 
KThe command doesn't do that, it just tells your bios to ask you next reboot
KAnd I read in the Docs that the key is
ublue-osYep
KCommand says as much too
KOh oh
KAfter I tried to boot with secure boot enabled.. i deactivated it and now I'm Here ...
KThat's something else entirely
KWill need a log
K
KYou change your drives at all?
KI'll provide a Log.. but damn.. I should have never enabled secure boot..
I wanted to prepere, for the Win11 install
I wanted to prepere, for the Win11 install
KYes my Games Drive, to make space for win11
KIf that changed the UUID you may need to update your fstab to be able to boot again
KCan try removing the game drive from it to get it back
KAaah... Okay because i formatted it
KYou can likely do that from windows with WinBTRFS
