Hey guys. Just heard about Bazzite/ublue recently. It looks interesting; I've been doing some reading but I'm not quite sure about something.
I already have a Kinoite 40 installation on AMD; I installed steam and a few drivers as usual, and things seem to work fine for gaming and all other purposes.
For a general purpose desktop OS that is also gaming occasionally, what is the killer Bazzite value add for me? Is it just performance tweaks?

Dylan•6/22/24, 8:48 PM

it's largely just having things set up for you out of the box

Dylan•6/22/24, 8:48 PM

there are perf tweaks it comes with too

From where I stand, general tuning and invisible updates

Kasher_CS•6/22/24, 8:49 PM

You'll probably have 0 layered packages if you care about that

Since you're on kinoite you can even switch to it cleanly

Crono•6/22/24, 8:50 PM

Also some very convenient ujust commands

Crono•6/22/24, 8:50 PM

So the bottom line is convenience, performance, and little need for maintenance

Kasher_CS•6/22/24, 8:51 PM

Last point is moot for Kinoite

j0rge•6/22/24, 8:51 PM

not really, you still get kernel skew/jank on kinoite with rpmfusion on the client

Crono•6/22/24, 8:51 PM

I guess you can set up Topgrade there for everything, but it goes back to my first point

Kasher_CS•6/22/24, 8:52 PM

Ah, if you install rpmfusion and layer packages, as in?

j0rge•6/22/24, 8:52 PM

yeah

j0rge•6/22/24, 8:52 PM

it'll break every time there's a kernel release

j0rge•6/22/24, 8:53 PM

it's the same errors we get, we get them on the server side instead of on the local PC

Crono•6/22/24, 8:53 PM

New fsync kernel cooking

Crono•6/22/24, 8:53 PM

6.9.6

CCrono Sounds like you might have a DRAM-less SSD or something

My only complaint is that I have 2 monitors of different resolutions and scaling %s, and games are always jank, not knowing how to go full screen, not being able to capture the mouse... I'd switch to anything if it fixed that

Crono•6/22/24, 8:55 PM

Crono•6/22/24, 8:56 PM

Do you get that on Xorg or Wayland?

Kasher_CS•6/22/24, 8:56 PM

Gamescope runs pretty well for me and fixes my fullscreen problems

CCrono Do you get that on Xorg or Wayland?

SakiOP•6/22/24, 8:57 PM

Both

KKasher_CS Gamescope runs pretty well for me and fixes my fullscreen problems

SakiOP•6/22/24, 8:59 PM

Will test this -- I'm pretty much using base fedora in regards to games so there's probably plenty of room for improvement

Kasher_CS•6/22/24, 9:00 PM

Bazzite comes with everything you need, so it made me catch up on some linux gaming tools I missed heforehand

Crono•6/22/24, 9:02 PM

The thing I keep getting with Bazzite is that I think of tweaking something and then find out "oh, they already do that"

Crono•6/22/24, 9:03 PM

Very annoying

Crono•6/22/24, 9:03 PM

Keeps saving me work

Kamquat•6/22/24, 9:08 PM

Mmm clonezilla even properly rotates the display on the Legion Go (apart from Grub). Nice.

Kamquat•6/22/24, 9:08 PM

I was worried I'd have to clone my drive like I was using a Nokia NGAGE.

Not to ruin the mood fi st time trying bazzite coming from arch jus a basic laptop i5 8gb 270gb storage that's all is it me or is waydroind not working after it worked the first time around

Did you follow this? https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=32#add-as-a-non-steam-shortcut-8

Universal Blue

Bazzite Waydroid Setup Guide

@nicknamenamenick you rock! thanks a lot!

Kamquat•6/22/24, 9:12 PM

I learned earlier today that one needs to follow that

The Red Rebel•6/22/24, 9:12 PM

Yes

The Red Rebel•6/22/24, 9:12 PM

It work the first time

The Red Rebel•6/22/24, 9:12 PM

Now it doesn't

The Red Rebel•6/22/24, 9:12 PM

After a reboot of my system

The Red Rebel•6/22/24, 9:12 PM

I wouldn't dare to come here without following the guide

Kamquat•6/22/24, 9:13 PM

Odd. You could try the reset and do it again, in case something messed up? I can confirm that as of today it does survive reboots.

The Red Rebel•6/22/24, 9:13 PM

Okay will do thanks for your time

KKamquat I was worried I'd have to clone my drive like I was using a Nokia NGAGE.

j0rge•6/22/24, 9:17 PM

Side talking!

Jj0rge Side talking!

Kamquat•6/22/24, 9:18 PM

Yeah I probably dated myself badly with that reference

Kamquat•6/22/24, 9:19 PM

I am glad the NGAGE remains a 'Thing I wanted at the time but couldn't afford', as it'd have been a giant waste of money

The Red Rebel•6/22/24, 9:19 PM

Excuse me sorry to bother you again but does Vesktop work from the arch repo in boxbuddy ?

waffles•6/22/24, 9:21 PM

so bazzite has udev rules for steam, does that mean steam is not running as a flatpak

Kasher_CS•6/22/24, 9:23 PM

Steam is layered

waffles•6/22/24, 9:24 PM

and bazzites got kde 6.1 already right

HikariKnight•6/22/24, 9:24 PM

steam is installed on the system, gamemode session need it on the system (flatpak and container doesnt work with it), nvidia need it to not be a container (flatpak doesnt work)

so to just simplify everything it is on the system itself instead of having 2-3 different solutions based on what image you are on

fiftydinar•6/22/24, 9:25 PM

@Kyle Gospo Just a note that the sysctl config from CachyOS is used to allow users to modify Bore settings

afaik, they ship the default values in kernel config

fiftydinar•6/22/24, 9:25 PM

which are unchanged from upstream

That's fine, means users have a place to copy from
