I've been thinking of switching my framework 13 laptop over to bazzite as a toe dip into the Linux world (other than steam deck) if it's not too bad I might try dual booting my big desktop gaming PC

The Nvidia GPU in my laptop was the reason to install Bazzite; haven't looked back since.

Is the performance slightly better compared to windows or earlier versions of Bazzite?

All positive publicity is good, the more people outside our little niche bubble are exposed to it the better.

Killing Windows influence in gaming wherever possible is an improvement.

Me and my Steam Deck approve.

Good news, you can download and run Microsoft Teams in Linux. I have no clue why you would want to do this, but you can!

I've recently started to have to use Teams at work and wow it's awful. In subtle and overt ways.

Teams actually works just fine. I'm my case installed from the AUR using the electron already present anyways. Zero issues. More specifically zero additional issues compared to Windows.

There's an unofficial client. It works really well. I mean, as well as this piece of shit software generally works.

Oop, went thread!

And more importantly, where's the IA?

Feels like this is so when they announce that there won’t be a successor to the Xbox Series X/S they can say “Xbox is t going away, it’s evolving, everything is an Xbox now etc”

ROG Xbox Ally is a good example of how superficial this promise it.

Honestly everyone keeps saying it's not an XBOX but I think they're just missing that the XBOX as they know it is dead and it has just transitioned to "Microsoft gaming".

Nope this is purely from a broken test. Watch the video and you'll see that its not testing with the same power limits.

17w tests are actually 16w vs 20w+ and 35w test is 25w vs 35w

This leads to drastically higher clock speeds on both cpu and gpu as seen in the video and thus higher fps (and power draw, so lower battery life)

LinuXbox?

Don't look back. Those games are dead to you now

You shouldn't be playing any game that requires kernel level access to your PC.

Do you trust every employee at EA, Riot, Activision with your credit card details, social security number, bank accounts, home address, etc.?

Because that's what kernel level access grants them, and more.

On top of that, a hacker could potentially exploit it to gain access too.

The only one I have run into that doesn't work is pubg. What are you trying to run?

This was a genuine concern to me before my switch. I game a lot and this was a main thing keeping me back.

I eventually decided, well I'll at least dual boot and can just switch to Windows if I want to play a game there.

But that kinda turned out to be a pain in the ass. Things like Bluetooth devices would need to be switched each time (I know there are ways around this, don't @ me), and more.

So... I just stopped using Windows to avoid that annoyance. And it turns out I don't miss the games I could only play on Windows that much, because I haven't booted into Windows in months. I'm fact I'm not really sure why I still have the partition.

Tl:dr just do it.

CPU intensive games

And I/O intensive games. Windows' scheduler is a old works for all devices while linux switches to a optimized one.
