or is there no difference in features needed for gaming?

BBjarke Thanks 🙂 Is there any way to opt-out of it?

you shouldn't be interacting with it often, ostree is for the composition of the images

Wwhytheyfold is kde or gnome recommended for bazzite? or is there no difference in features ...

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:44 PM

both have equal features but iirc gnome wayland doesn't work with VR yet

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:45 PM

but other than that both have all the other stuff for bazzite

Ttryhardsoccermomswag both have equal features but iirc gnome wayland doesn't work with VR yet

ahh nice, ill use kde then, how good is vr on linux?

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:46 PM

worse than windows

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:46 PM

i think you need the steamvr beta too

Ttryhardsoccermomswag worse than windows

whytheyfoldOP•8/1/24, 1:46 PM

ahh damn

whytheyfoldOP•8/1/24, 1:46 PM

I often feel like I have to use it thought? I install programs regularly. Everytime I use any flatpack there's always something that doesn't work. I just spent the last hour or so trying to install google chrome without it being a flatpack, because of course it also had proglems with certain developer features not working). It worked once I finally got it installed as a non-flat pack.

Is all "installed" applications on linux not matter what system you use basically "containerized" ?

Bjarke•8/1/24, 1:49 PM

or is it only flatpacks, and rpm-ostree is only making the install process secure?

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:49 PM

rpm-ostree is layering rpms

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:49 PM

you'll run into slower updates, dependency issues that can break updates, etc.

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:49 PM

its last resort stuff

j0rge•8/1/24, 1:49 PM

yeah that's just your old distro but slower

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:50 PM

our docs contain this info on installing and managing applications

Kiren•8/1/24, 1:51 PM

typically you shouldn't need to layer all that many things. A lot of things are fine in flatpak or distrobox etc.

Bjarke•8/1/24, 1:52 PM

I've not had a single important flatpak work properly for me.

Unity = issues
Vscode = issues
Chrome = issues
Discord = issues

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:53 PM

yea the goal is to be as maintainence-free as possible with the ability to easily rollback system updates if regressions occur

this is probably not true, afaik linux use more dynamic deps compared to windows

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:53 PM

Some of those should be in distrobox containers

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:53 PM

Namely the development stuff

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/1/24, 1:53 PM

unity & vscode

Kiren•8/1/24, 1:54 PM

The things which I do have to layer, I tend to use bluebuild to put into a custom oci, rather than locally. But I do those on a Kinoite base. I only actually use Bazzite on my Ally at the moment.

discord on Linux has issues regardless of package format which is why so many vencord clients exist

Bjarke•8/1/24, 1:54 PM

Thans for allt he info here btw. Reading up on various terms, as they come in! Still kinda new all of this.
