I use Windows BTW.

For work. They force me to 😭
Please send help!

Imagine not using Hannah Montana Linux. I literally can't do it. Why would you use anything else when all the other distros are so inferior?

The user base for other universal-blue distros like Aurora is way smaller so it's actually special. I use Aurora btw.

I use TempleOS btw.

I feel called out, "I use Bazzite btw" is literally a joke I made irl last week.

Some Bazzite users touch grass and talk to people IRL, surprising, I know.

I use openSUSE btw.

Can you dual boot it yet with other linuxes? I want to split gaming and productivity.

I use Fedora which is Bazzite with different preinstalled bloat

Don't know what's all the fuss about (I use mint btw)

I use Nobara, btw.

Guy came into my workplace this week and I was saying I was slowly getting into developing a game engine with SDL. When he heard I was using ubuntu he recommended Bazzite, saying he has no trouble with it and uses his machine mostly for gaming. Is it Debian based or something else? At least it's not that meme distro Arch I guess, might try it

I don't use Linux yet but when I do change it will be Bazzite btw. (I have an Nvidia graphics card and from the little research I did, Bazzite seems to be a good distro for Linux gaming)

B-b-but NixOS!

I don’t use Bazzite, but I do recommend it for new Linux users.

Haha... No its not, but bazzite users really want it to be. :)

I truly believe Nobara to be better suited for gaming than Bazzite. I don't really get the hype. But then again, to each his own distro.

... I use Bazzite btw

But have you read The Good Book (Dolstra et al, 2004)?

Pft. I compile Gentoo for my GameCube, btw

There are just so many good distros available these days. Doesn't stop me from using bazzite, though.

No issues gaming on Mint! Tried bazzite couldn't get into it. Just doesn't feel usable daily and to game. Mint is just too polished and convenient.

I'm glad all of you are using various Linux distros and I'm glad there is so much choice within this community. Keep it up!

Agreed! Skim my post history. I’m in the meme.

And it’s because I’m so happy I have a plug n play version of Linux that I don’t have to troubleshoot. It’s more stable than W11 on my work computer. I love it so much. I could throw it on my grandmas computer and she would be fine. I’d recommend it over Mint for new Linux users.

I wouldn’t recommend it for people who love using the command line or run virtual machines.

I'm considering Bazzite for a Win 10 machine that I only use to play Steam games. Really hoping that it "just works" for most of my library.

Could I consider any game that is Steam Deck Verified will work fine? Am I likely to run into a ton of issues? I game exclusively with a wireless XBone controller.

Honestly I'd welcome this, the Linux podcasts I listen to are still going on and on about nix. At least it would be something different.

No, that's Garuda.

Also gaming focused, also super easy, not so locked down it won't let you change your login background, also has great Nvidia support. Arch.

I use Kinoite btw. I thought the idea of an immutable file system was neat but didn't want to go all-in on just gaming. Even though my gaming experience on Kinoite has been nearly flawless.

Everyone loves Bazzite, and they're probably all right, but it did not run very well on my old gaming laptop.
Since people often mention Linux (in general) as being a good OS for older hardware, I thought this anecdote might be a helpful perspective to some.
I tried two or three other distros on that laptop, and they all ran fine as expected. I assume Bazzite has some higher system requirements to power its cool features.

What would you recommend for a gaming machine with some pretty old hardware (1080Ti etc), PopOS or Bazzite? I mainline Mint, but I have this hardware coming in and I'd like to get an idea of what I want to do with it before it gets here.

It is nice to see someone using the "Nobody:" meme format correctly.
