I decided to abandon Windows on my desktop this year. After some searching I ended up with @bazzite After being a Debian user (server and vm) for a while it’s taken some time to adjust. But I will stick with it to the end of 2026.

I have been using bazzite for over 2 years now, and am quite happy with it. My biggest gripe is that the keyring app (using gnome) is wildly unreliable.

I had a system freeze at some point, and since then it is unable to store/provide any stored passwords or login data. Each time an application wants to store or retrieve some it asks to create a new keyring, while never allowing apps to retrieve existing information. I actually had this happen before, forcing me to reinstall, but sadly since that one crash it is back to being broken, and i just cant if it is just going to break again.

Well, that is my gripe and also that i cant seem to wrap my head around getting niche Windows programs to run. Some i can do through steam and a tutorial, but neither lutris nor bottles has ever allowed me to run things such as older game editors or game server software that was not integrated with the steam game. I'm sure it is possible, so i must be doing something wrong.

Guess this went a little off the rails, sorry about that 🫠
