Love Universal Blue! Every distro is a joy to use. Oh man, unRAID is moving to uCore as well. That should be a positive change.

Partial HDMI 2.1 FRL support is huge (even if it's from upstream)! I finally have 12bit color on my home theater PC! Content looks amazing now 😍
Unfortunately, it does flicker occasionally if VRR isn't enabled, but that's why it's behind a debug flag to begin with. I can't wait for Linux 7.3 to complete the implementation.
Eat shit, HDMI Forum.
I've moved on from Bazzite in my own Linux journey but it is so cool to see that team making strides.
Holy shit

Literally installed Bazzite yesterday. What a time to be alive!
It's such a big update, with so many new features, that the first few weeks may be a little rough. I hope it won't persuade you off it should you have some minor niggles. The devs have been working hard and testing all the new features has clearly been a monumental task.
I've been using Bazzite for six months on my desktop now, and it's been rock solid in every way, from install to everyday usage, so we'll definitely get back there should it be a rocky for a bit.
The best thing about Bazzite is of course that if you get a ton of problems, you can always roll back to the previous update.
Apparently there are quite a few regressions for NVIDIA users on deck images (graphics corruptions in game scope).
I haven’t yet updated, but I will heed the advice to pin my current setup
Is it a good time to try it out? I generally stay huddled in the corner with Debian and KDE for my Linux machine but I'd like to start messing with gaming on Linux to move away from windows.
I suppose it's a good time as any to try it out :) .
FWIW, I've been on (a derivative of) Fedora Atomic for over four years now. There's a learning curve if you'd like to translate some of your existing workflows, but it has overall been a very smooth experience. Like, the last time something broke was with the mesa mess-ups over three years ago. And the beautiful thing with Bazzite is that it can protect its user base from such instances. The how-part would dwarf the existing text, so I digress (for now 😜).
