Bazzite Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Thanks for catching that. The information on the introductory documentation was outdated anyways, so I removed the link from here. Here’s the Introductory Documentation on the Wayback Machine archive if you are interested to see what it stated.

Kyle Gospo•6/27/24, 4:46 AM

those DEs make dotfiles in your home dir that affect each other

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:46 AM

holy fuck im so stupid im sorry

Laylahroo•6/27/24, 4:47 AM

I have to get my head around the way it works, but I like it. I can still do everything I want with it, but its also very stable

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:47 AM

Since I wanna ask a stupid question as well,

Is there any bazzite image without any de?

KKyle Gospo those DEs make dotfiles in your home dir that affect each other

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:47 AM

couldnt you theoretically symlink dots between both users except for KDE/gnome ones (possibly user-chosen ones too)

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:48 AM

in my outsider brain it seems kinda simple

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:48 AM

Problem is that dotfiles are specific to the de

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:48 AM

Iimide in my outsider brain it seems kinda simple

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:48 AM

Maybe you can use stow

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:48 AM

And write a script to do it?

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:48 AM

i want to clarify that fedora are the ones that do not recommend rebasing between DEs btw

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:49 AM

not you guys?

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:49 AM

whats your opinion on it

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:49 AM

i can tell you from experience that it causes issues though

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:49 AM

especially KDE --> GNOME

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:49 AM

oh lmao

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:49 AM

GNOME --> KDE breaks a few things

Iimide whats your opinion on it

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:49 AM

Bazzite is using fedora silverblue sooo

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:50 AM

im an arch user (btw) and ive used gnome most of the time because i liked how it looks (gtk and such) but have issues and kde looks nice but im dumb, and dont really like how it looks
and im new to linux desktops as a whole too

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:50 AM

yeah this project literally fedora kinoite or silverblue depending on the DE but a container image swoops in with packages and systemd services

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:51 AM

well you dont have to use plasma, we offer a gnome variant

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:51 AM

gnome causes issues for me

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:51 AM

You can potentially write a script move the dots to a seperate dir and run stow based on the DE

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:52 AM

I hope stow is included by default

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:53 AM

it is not

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:53 AM

can layer it tho

Ttryhardsoccermomswag can layer it tho

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:54 AM

I'm gonna try living distrobox life before rpm-ostree

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/27/24, 4:54 AM

well if stow works in a container then yeah go for that

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:54 AM

i honestly dont even know if i should switch to linux
as my whole issue with windows is its kinda slow, installing shit sucks, dx sucks and the glowies but im so acclimated to windows i cant do shit without shit like autoscroll, the de, or having (most of the time) just working stuff that i can later tweak if i want too
could never replicate that on linux and ive tried almost everything

Iimide i honestly dont even know if i should switch to linux as my whole issue with win...

Kyle Gospo•6/27/24, 4:55 AM

I was a long-time Windows fanboy

Kyle Gospo•6/27/24, 4:55 AM

worked in the game industry and all that

Kyle Gospo•6/27/24, 4:55 AM

my answer to this is: Windows had as bad or worse of a learning curve than Linux

Kyle Gospo•6/27/24, 4:55 AM

it's just been so long since most people went through it, they've forgotten it

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:55 AM

yeah

Kyle Gospo•6/27/24, 4:56 AM

Things like the registry or uninstalling applications not always removing files? Utterly asinine

Kyle Gospo•6/27/24, 4:56 AM

but everyone knows it and knows how to deal with it

imideOP•6/27/24, 4:56 AM

i just went though environment vars and i am fucking done

KKyle Gospo worked in the game industry and all that

Jazze (plz ping when reply)•6/27/24, 4:56 AM

I think this is good enough reason to stick to windows

again another stupid question but is it possible to switch from kde and gnome easily/quickly? cause
