I use Windows BTW.
For work. They force me to 😭
Please send help!Just leave a penguin’s head in your boss’ bed
/joke
I love penguins. Can’t I just put a broken window in there?
Well, use a whole penguin then
/joke
The window it is. I’ll add extra shards as a garnish.
Your it guy gets a window?!
It could be worse. You could be stuck with legacy or embedded windows shudders
The worst thing is it is legacy, but it’s legacy Java. Why on earth am I developing with Windows?
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?
Imagine using Linux when you can use TempleOS.
Holy C is too much, I am not worthy
I tried that once, my computer caught fire then told me to kill my son,
I don’t even have a sonthink I’ll just stick to linux
The user base for other universal-blue distros like Aurora is way smaller so it’s actually special. I use Aurora btw.
It’s on my Framework 13. 😌
Aurora on my work machine, Bazzite on my home machine haha
I use TempleOS btw.
Gaming like God intended
The developer died in 2018 BTW
That’s ok. TempleOS is not just an operating system. It’s a spiritual experience. Also, it’s not like he would have made it useful if he kept working on it.
Excuse me, this is a Linux community, I’m afraid you’re going to have to leave.

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.
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
I’m on Aeon. Does that count?
Me too and I’m pretty sure it counts!
I
useam compiling Gentoo BTWSame here, for over a year! Made me love Linux, and computing again! Even games like I’m not missing anything from Windoze, and that’s all I really needed! :)
Don’t know what’s all the fuss about (I use mint btw)
Did you test it?
No, haven’t tested bazzite. I’m sure it’s great as I’ve heard good things about it. My comment was just a joke comment since we are in a meme community (but I do actually use mint, btw)
Ahh, I didn’t see that! Sorry 👻
No worries :)
Can you dual boot it yet with other linuxes? I want to split gaming and productivity.
You can, if you know how to configure grub.
Yeah you need to tell grub-mkconfig in /etc/default/grub to run the os-prober on everything during updates and put it in the cfg, but bazzite is immutable and seems to be only configured for parallel windows and it’s own version history. If i read the docs correctly, screenshot in other comment.
Is Bazzite better for gaming? What are you running currently?
Its not better per se compared to other Linuxes for gaming, just pre-configured to take a lot of the basic setup work out of it for you.
What setup? AMD BTW. Just install steam and go…
You don’t own your games you “bought” on Steam so… no
I tried it out and challenged myself not to touch the terminal to fix anything for as long as I could, to see if it is a truly ready-out-of-the-box experience.
It is actually very intuitive for gaming, what makes it feel more suited than most distros for me is that flatpak apps that you don’t have installed show up in the start menu, ready to add if you need them. Other OSs are leaner and cleaner but you’d have to know the package name.
I managed to get everything started, games and stuff including minor tweaks, and the first time I needed to use the terminal was to work out how to get some fan control working. I didn’t succeed in setting it up. So I took away from that experience that low level hardware OS tasks are harder to access in Bazzite.
Yeah, basically the only thing I really use the terminal for is
ujust, a series of scripts maintained by Bazzite themselves. And ujust does have a script to install a GUI fan controller app, btw, which I’ve used to setup my own fan curves, and found it pretty darn usable despite it being the first time I’ve done such a thing.The OS is immutable, so you’re probably right that lower level tasks are harder, but Bazzite themselves have stepped in and created a dedicated command for pretty much anything finicky I’ve thought to do in the past year or so.
I think you’ve always been able to?
I could only find the ugly bios option, normally the os-prober of grub-mkconfig would be configurable to take care of it, but we are immutable there. I assume this is also valid for debian or arch:
Why not just get one distro that does both?
I’m more productive if I have to reboot between work and leisure.
I use Fedora which is Bazzite with different preinstalled bloat
Can easily make your own Bazzite FROM Silverblue.
I use Nobara, btw.
Finally some representation.
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
It’s Fedora based. If you want to develop on it, it supports containerized workflows. There’s a DX version explicitly designed for developers.

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)
I use Bazzite btw and I am yet to encounter a game that it won’t run.
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.
Well. Shit. Now I’ve got no excuses.
B-b-but NixOS!
