I don’t use Bazzite, but I do recommend it for new Linux users.
I use CachyOS BeeTeeDubs…
… I use Bazzite btw
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.
Steam Deck Verified games should be fine, and a lot of non-Verified games were only downgraded to “Playable” because of issues that may not matter on a desktop, like small text (what’s small on a Steam Deck screen may not be small on a monitor) or needing to manually trigger the on-screen keyboard (a desktop is usually accompanied by a physical keyboard).
I think the controller is the least compatible thing there.
(I use bazzite, btw ;) )
I’m clueless about Linux, so I tried it. It seems to be just working for me for most of my Steam library, at least with Proton Experimental. I don’t have a XBone controller, but my SteelSeries knockoff does fine. That said, I have no idea what might cause it to break. (Though, it doesn’t seem to like my mechanical hard drives much.)

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.
Haha… No its not, but bazzite users really want it to be. :)
It is nice to see someone using the “Nobody:” meme format correctly.
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.
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?
Pft. I compile Gentoo for my GameCube, btw
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.
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
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.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.
Rightfully so!
(I use Bazzite btw)
It’s honestly so easy to get into and works, I’m honestly surprised it isn’t suggested more!
(I use bazzite btw)
You are late. They moved on to CachyOS. Give it a few months and it will be a new one again.
Dammit I really did just recommend CachyOS to someone, although I also like OpenSUSE!
openSUSE Tumbleweed made me love my computer again. It also games like I’m not even missing anything from Windoze. NVIDIA GPU and everything. I’m sure there are “better” distros, but openSUSE was the one that got me to stay, and I couldn’t be happier!
I did move on to CachyOS lmao.
but in my defense, it’s because the CachyOS people in matrix wouldn’t shut up about how good it was.
In which ways is it better? right now I’m defaulting to bazzite for my desktop as I already got a steam deck.
Well I can’t speak for everyone, but I noticed significant gains in a couple of the games I played when switching. Specifically Minecraft and Dune: Awakening. I’m getting upwards of 100fps in Minecraft with BSL shaders on ultra now, and I’m playing on a laptop. When I was on Bazzite I was getting less than 60fps with shaders, so I didn’t use them at all.
Depending on the DE you pick, it can be pretty good on the battery life too.
