questions about bazzite
hello everyone, im looking to hopefully use bazzite for my HTPC/PC game console setup and had a few questions.
1. i see there is a desktop and htpc versions of bazzite but is there any features sacrificed between the two or performance differences?
2. i do have an nvidia gpu, an RTX 3080, i did see it could cause issues but how severe are we talking?
3. does bazzite have something like playnite for windows which allows me to have most of my game libraries in one spot like steam, epic games, PCSX2, and other launchers
thanks for any help

1. The main difference is if you boot into the session used on the SteamDeck or a normal desktop. You don't need to worry, switching post-install won't cause problems and is one command.
2. DX12 games have a pretty big performance penalty that Nvidia needs to fix. Other than that, gamescope (as far as I've heard) and various other programs have problems specifically with Nvidia.
3. You can import all of your games into Steam, other than that there isn't a great interface I know of
2. You should search on this discord for NVIDIA and just peruse any issues or solutions you see to get a better idea. I have a 4080 and have had basically no issues I can think of. I guess Cyberpunk has less fps than WIndows (?) but I'm not benchmarking fps; I just know it runs fine on the same settings I used on WIndows.
