Eventually they’re going to make me learn Linux. I really don’t want to spend the time and effort learning a new system and messing with troubleshooting.
Dude, I have 2 kids and a wife and I work 2 jobs. You can easily imagine I don’t have time to deal with any bullshit issues. When the kids and wife are asleep I just want to relax and play a game. When I am at work, I want my kids (5 & 8 y/o) to be able to play their games without my help, same as if it was a console.
I have 2 desktop PCs in my home office / gaming café 🤣 and a GMKTEC K12 mini PC connected to our 90" TV all 3 running Bazzite. I don’t do SHIT since the year I installed it and everything just works.
That’s freaking PRICELESS. For the first time since I was 8 years old, my PCs work for me. I don’t work for them. I fucking love Linux now lol. I still don’t have time to learn anything about it, while I’m curious and would like to learn as a hobby, the thing is I don’t NEED to.
Praise Linus and GabeN, and Universal Blue Project.
Passkeys are worth learning. Linux / GrapheneOS (de-googled Android) only household. This isn’t some Microsoft thing they are trying to push.
Passwordless logins (or 2FA depending on the site). Uses the same public key cryptography primitives that pretty much the whole internet is built upon.
Way more secure than passwords. The secret is never sent to the server you are logging into while passwords are which makes you a phishing target (noteable exception is opaque-ke). Users are trained to make crappy passwords and with passkeys there is nothing to memorize.
The big commercial operating systems I’m pretty sure all support storing them with cloud syncing across your devices.
If you care about privacy, password managers like BitWarden can handle them as well.
Not sure if vaultwarden (self-hosted BitWarden) stores them if you don’t trust any cloud provider.
Unless you’re playing competitive multiplayer games with kernel level anticheat, you’re the perfect candidate for Bazzite Linux. It is as hands off as Linux can be, the year I spend with Bazzite I never used the terminal. You can even install Microsoft Edge if you miss the windows experience. But wait till you’re ready or you’ll have a bad experience, not because it’s hard or anything but the workflow is a bit different.

Plus I only look use it for Steam and internet.
Been there, now on Bazzite. 2 years now. I still didn’t learn anything, and that’s a good thing.
haha!! this is the perfect review

Vaultwarden handles them just fine. Was a nice surprise feature
Awesome! With the recent direction BitWarden is going, I’ll be switching soon then to self-hosted.

Bazzite is based on Fedora and both are very well optimized for modern gaming. Learning curve is maybe 2 weeks. It’s never been easier.

Unless you’re running 32bit hardware, but win 11 won’t run on that anyways…
