I think the answers you'll get, might be a little biased on a Bazzite Discord 😂

OFaster updates, a layered system also means you can install system packages without them being wiped completely on the next system update (which allows for stuff like Waydroid), rollbacks allow for upgrades without the worry
Wim seeing this aswell, came here to see if theres a fix
CPreconfigured ZRAM setup, BORE CPU scheduler, easy rollbacks, many

VI mean yeah probably lol but no one would know bazzite on deck better than the people who actually use it and have a comparison of the two
OThe only real disadvantage of bazzite over steamos is that system upgrades can take a while (often portrayed by the update progress bar in big picture being stuck at 99%), but that's mainly a fault of rpm-ostree
CThe SteamOS-iness of SteamOS should be exactly the same
CBarring one quirk here or there
AOne minor bug, 12hr time format doesn't work in Gaming mode (Deck OLED 512)
OIf all you do is boot into big picture immediately like the steam deck usually does, it's practically indistinguishable imho
Obut underneath it's a lot more capable and up to date
VI think I know what you mean, I tried building a HTPC and used bazzite for it but was having a ton of audio issues that couldn't be solved. But I remember the updates hanging pretty often like that
Othat's normal for rpm-ostree, the saving grace is that bazzite handles updates in the background automatically, so as long as you reboot every so often you'll be fine
YBruh…… tell me why I really did just need to wait a bit before ejecting and now it works all of a sudden?
CWork in a hurry is done twice
CAnother thing, the updater also updates Flatpaks, so no need for Decky plugins for that
WI don't think there is anything that you need to do, there is a thread here 🛟bazzite-helpSystem update failed. I think it's a key issue in github that the Bazzite/ublue team need to sort out.
CWell, Flatpaks and basically everything; Distrobox containers, firmware, even Firefox GNOME Theme - but that's more relevant for desktop use. If you dock your Deck to use it as a computer it's a much more robust base.
VI got a vacation coming up, so I'll probably load it up and try it while I'm out tbh
KIf its Linux, it wasn't done flushing
CI'd say worst case scenario it's slightly more convenient and secure
CThere's other things you can set up like LUKS, but that's more advanced
CShouldn't matter that much if you only game on it
WIf you going on vacation you might want to turn off automatic updates. The 5GB updates can be a bit pricey on a cellphone plan.
CRight, that's another thing
Oyeah that's another thing about fedora atomic as a whole
Ohuge updates
CRight now if you update it'll be a whole new image
CIt's being worked on
CSame with the progress bar
VI'm still very much a novice when it comes to Linux based systems. But I'm taking the challenge to daily drive it on my pc. And minus a few windows specific apps and vr, it's been smooth so I'll probably understand more in time.
Owelcome to the bazzite-on-pc crew
VOh I don't leave until Thursday, and I got gigabit internet, so I fully plan on decking out my deck before I leave
JI think automatic updates is only for the desktop versions of Bazzite, right? The handheld versions you need to manually hit that Update button?
Othat actually would explain some things
Kdesktop is automatic, handhelds are gaming mode (Steam will check for updates but not auto-apply them)
CIf you're on GNOME, VR should work out when Bazzite 4.0 comes out - which will be based on Fedora 41, which will have GNOME 47 with DRM leasing
Kand both have
System Update app in their app listVBut no love for KDE?
CKDE already has it
KThe GNOME issue is lack of DRM leasing, KDE already has it
Kbut there's some issue with SteamVR that's being investigated. Seems to affect Fedora 40 KDE Wayland as well
Kopen issue w/ valve
VYeah I heard in news stuffs that vr was being worked on
VAre using specific headsets an issue?
CI suspect the VR situation on Linux will get dramatically better in the near future as a certain piping-themed company starts investing more into it
T@Kyle Gospo giving this a bump idk if you saw this
VBut the main question is do some headsets play nicer than others? I'd imagine that would be the case
VEspecially for quest headsets
CEspecially after GNOME DRM leasing with Wayland is out, that's the default DE for most distros
