The 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

The SteamOS-iness of SteamOS should be exactly the same

Crono•7/2/24, 3:58 PM

Barring one quirk here or there

Aadesh•7/2/24, 3:59 PM

One minor bug, 12hr time format doesn't work in Gaming mode (Deck OLED 512)

ott.tar.gzOP•7/2/24, 3:59 PM

If all you do is boot into big picture immediately like the steam deck usually does, it's practically indistinguishable imho

ott.tar.gzOP•7/2/24, 3:59 PM

but underneath it's a lot more capable and up to date

Veroxin•7/2/24, 3:59 PM

I 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

ott.tar.gzOP•7/2/24, 4:00 PM

that'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

Another thing, the updater also updates Flatpaks, so no need for Decky plugins for that

wolfyreload•7/2/24, 4:02 PM

I 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.

Crono•7/2/24, 4:04 PM

Well, 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.

Crono•7/2/24, 4:05 PM

I'd say worst case scenario it's slightly more convenient and secure

Crono•7/2/24, 4:05 PM

There's other things you can set up like LUKS, but that's more advanced

Crono•7/2/24, 4:06 PM

Shouldn't matter that much if you only game on it

wolfyreload•7/2/24, 4:06 PM

If you going on vacation you might want to turn off automatic updates. The 5GB updates can be a bit pricey on a cellphone plan.

Crono•7/2/24, 4:06 PM

Right, that's another thing

ott.tar.gzOP•7/2/24, 4:06 PM

yeah that's another thing about fedora atomic as a whole

ott.tar.gzOP•7/2/24, 4:06 PM

huge updates

Crono•7/2/24, 4:06 PM

Right now if you update it'll be a whole new image

Crono•7/2/24, 4:07 PM

It's being worked on

Crono•7/2/24, 4:07 PM

Same with the progress bar

Veroxin•7/2/24, 4:07 PM

I'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.

Jilong•7/2/24, 4:07 PM

I think automatic updates is only for the desktop versions of Bazzite, right? The handheld versions you need to manually hit that Update button?

ott.tar.gzOP•7/2/24, 4:08 PM

that actually would explain some things

Kyle Gospo•7/2/24, 4:08 PM

desktop is automatic, handhelds are gaming mode (Steam will check for updates but not auto-apply them)

Crono•7/2/24, 4:08 PM

If 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

Kyle Gospo•7/2/24, 4:08 PM

and both have

Veroxin•7/2/24, 4:09 PM

But no love for KDE?

Crono•7/2/24, 4:09 PM

KDE already has it

VVeroxin But no love for KDE?

Kyle Gospo•7/2/24, 4:09 PM

The GNOME issue is lack of DRM leasing, KDE already has it

Kyle Gospo•7/2/24, 4:09 PM

but there's some issue with SteamVR that's being investigated. Seems to affect Fedora 40 KDE Wayland as well

Kyle Gospo•7/2/24, 4:09 PM

open issue w/ valve

Veroxin•7/2/24, 4:10 PM

Yeah I heard in news stuffs that vr was being worked on

Veroxin•7/2/24, 4:10 PM

Are using specific headsets an issue?

Crono•7/2/24, 4:10 PM

I 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

TTheEtherNetBoyz FPS/refresh rate side does work? I haven’t gotten it to work at all

TheEtherNetBoyz•7/2/24, 4:12 PM

@Kyle Gospo giving this a bump idk if you saw this

Veroxin•7/2/24, 4:12 PM

But the main question is do some headsets play nicer than others? I'd imagine that would be the case

Veroxin•7/2/24, 4:12 PM

Especially for quest headsets

Crono•7/2/24, 4:12 PM

announcement happening soon

Gattaca•7/2/24, 4:13 PM

Wait, Bazzite is a rolling release? How come I have KDE 6.1 suddenly? A pleasant surprise, but a surprise for sure!

VVeroxin Especially for quest headsets

Crono•7/2/24, 4:13 PM

Quests should be fine, they're just streaming the game like Steam Link(even if you're on USB)
