Just popping in to say after 5+ years of testing the Linux waters and always running back to Windows

Just popping in to say after 5+ years of testing the Linux waters and always running back to Windows, Bazzite on my Ally X w/ GNOME is what finally made me genuinely enjoy Linux. This has been my daily driver for 2+ weeks now and honestly can't see any reason to go back. I have had zero "actual" issues that didn't have a simple solution.

Great job guys.

Windows sometimes breaks the WiFi, if you clicked on shutdown click on reboot instead

how do I switch GPUs on an Asus rog Flow x13 ? Fedora required asusctl and supergfxctl

Astearon•8/12/24, 8:59 PM

both seem to be already installed but not executed at startup?

opensuse is alright choice

TTagby🇺🇲Hey guys what's the best panel for a gaming monitor? TN? IPS? Or.....?

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:21 PM

Hello! They all have their tradeoffs. TN: lowest price and a higher refresh rate, but more washed out colours. IPS: much better colour accuracy, tends to be a bit pricer. VA: kind of in between the two. Honestly, unless you're an actual pro gamer, I'd go for an IPS or VA. Refresh rates and response times are great on an IPS or VA monitor these days

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:22 PM

I think most people nowadays would recommend an IPS monitor. I've got a VA and I've never had a problem with it

Science•8/12/24, 9:22 PM

Heyo, I'm using the latest version of bazzite and have pairing issues with DS4 controllers, which after a lot of digging is because of a bug in bluez that was only fixed in the most recent release 5.77. Brazzite currently has 5.76... any way to upgrade to 5.77?

Science•8/12/24, 9:23 PM

I tried rpm-ostree install and rpm-ostree replace override, but neither worked with an rpm of bluez 5.77

my journey has been mint -> endeavour -> nobara -> bazzite -> nobara -> bazzite. I think I'm here to stay at bazzite now I know how to use containers

Three months into linux and using NixOS is like heroin being your gateway drug

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:23 PM

no points for guessing which of those lasted like a single afternoon

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:23 PM

considering I started using linux in June

NOBARA MORE LIKE,,,, NO!!! BROTHER

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:25 PM

oh just to add to this, VA monitors have really good contrast, which is why I got mine - I was doing work at the time that needed colour accuracy and contrast. I'd say go with IPS if you don't need high contrast for work

Jack Smith•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

Nothing but love to glorious eggroll for his work in proton, but nobara isn't something I'll recommend tbf

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

Wii U came today, just waiting on the PSU and then I get to try using my Steam Deck as a gamepad

PPez NOBARA MORE LIKE,,,, NO!!! BROTHER

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

it was endeavour that only lasted the afternoon actually! I've really enjoyed nobara, its just things like sunshine work out of the box with bazzite, and nobara's updates have been a bit messy as of late, which pushed me back here

JJack Smith Nothing but love to glorious eggroll for his work in proton, but nobara isn't so...

Pez•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

i wouldn't recommend it either for some reasons but i just poke fun at it as a joke because this is the #

bazzite channel

JJack Smith Nothing but love to glorious eggroll for his work in proton, but nobara isn't so...

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:26 PM

Glorious Eggroll is great, and Nobara's not bad but it is VERY opinionated.

And the thing with opinions is not everybody has sane ones

Pez•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

yuuuup

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

and i like the fact that I can rebase to fedora if the bazzite team ever decide to take all their funding and abscond to a small island somewhere

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

Discover? Who needs it

PPez whoever let you start with those three is a monster

a•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

opensuse tumbleweed wasnt too bad i also just chose arch because of those youtubers who flex with using arch

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

yeah the thing about removing discover and replacing it with the nobara package manager was a little rough for me

Pez•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

no backage manager

Pez•8/12/24, 9:27 PM

:^)

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

in GE's defence, he's always said that the target audience for Nobara is basically just his dad, and if anyone else wants to use it that's fine

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

which honestly is real linux energy right there

Pez•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

LOL

Pez•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

that's a good reason to not use it i guess

Pez•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

i'm not GE's dad

PPez i'm not GE's dad

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

not with that attitude

Pez•8/12/24, 9:28 PM

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 9:29 PM

from what i've seen of ublue and all its spins, its slightly less of a hobby distro approach and more of a serious crack at the distro whip

Pez•8/12/24, 9:30 PM

that means the ruse has worked

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:30 PM

I propose that Bazzite 4.0 be the update where Bazzite goes truly immutable, this would mean that:
- Remove distrobox
- Lock rpm-ostree behind a root account with no password. Intention being it is not accessible.
- Change user permissions to only be allowed to launch pre-installed apps
- Remove GNOME images, unrelated but I think it's a good idea
- Remove FUSE

Valerie•8/12/24, 9:31 PM

Perhaps we could remove desktop mode all together for a proper console experience?
