So I’m at my monthly “let’s try and see if Linux finally works well enough as a daily desktop driver” phase, and this time, I found Bazzite which is, in essence, Fedora KDE turned into an image that ports most of the Steam OS features.
I love SteamOS on the Deck, so this feels like a natural path. In fact, this distro in particular comes with an image specifically designed to boot Nvidia drivers correctly, including secure boot, which is quite rare.
Has anybody tried this project? I’ve seen some reviews, but they’re running the system on the Steam Deck itself, I’m wondering about the Desktop version also offered.
EDIT: Experiment ended. Back on Windows. Bazzite was indeed one of the best I’ve tried so far, still a decade away from being good enough.
Recently saw a youtube vid where a guy got Bazzite running on the trash-can Mac in order to game on it.
Give it a shot. I’ve been daily driving Manjaro, which has taught me that linux is definitely good enough, now.
But don’t use Manjaro. It has, issues, I just haven’t gotten around to switching to probably Arch.
I use Arch
BTW
So does the bazzite desktop image, actually. Steam and Lutris are both in an arch container using a custom arch image called bazzite-arch.
Bazzite is Fedora, if I’m not mistaken
