    I so badly want to do the “old man yells at cloud” meme and be angry that Bazzite is so popular.

    I want to do it, I’m resisting hnnnngg

    Atomic bad because different and I don’t like things that are different. 🧓

    This is a Linux distro focused on gaming.

    In the future, please say what the project is for when you post about it.

      I was also wondering what the fuck this is. From the Wikipedia introductory paragraph:

      Bazzite is a Fedora-based[1] Linux distribution designed to be similar to Valve’s SteamOS 3 while still functioning as a normal computer.[2][3][4] It offers support for handheld PC devices, including the Steam Deck.

    Bazzite is absolutely great, if you just want a very reliable system that just works and goes out of your way. I lean nowadays way more into recommending Bazzite to new Linux users, since there is literally not much to initially set up, no matter the hardware. Gaming works perfectly fine and any regular users software needs get easily satisfied by the Bazaar.

      I am too much of a tinkerer for Bazzite, but it’s still the distro I recommend the most for new users. If they decide they need more freedom, then Fedora KDE is the next step I recommend.

      Most Windows expats should be completely happy with Bazzite.

        I see what you mean. Sometimes I wish I could tinker with it the same way as I was used to with Arch. But in the end, it just works and goes out of my way.

      I’ve been using it for 3mo now. Mostly no issues, except for installing packages without flatpak, and also the weird random slowdown to freeze (I’m assuming memory management?) I mostly use my machine for learning freecad, watxhing jellyfin, using a browser, and playing Genshin (relaxing to play while people bitch at me on my phone job)

          Just years ago with Xubuntu. It may just be my use case. Seems to happen with WINE related stuff mostly, and I usually after days running. Once a week restart isn’t too painful.

      Absolutely. I switched to Bazzite and it is everything I wanted from the switch. So painless. I have yet to find a game I want to play that wont play. Ive been using it for all my normal computer tasks. Its been the best transition to linux I’ve experienced as ive tried in the past but always hit some sort of snag

        It’s weird that I can play Portal 2 via Proton but Portal 2 mods crash. Also, Doom Eternal works but not via Steamlink.

    I am one of them! Converted my main machine this weekend. The worst problem I have had is getting the settings right for a Jellyfin container. Got all my games running, even City of Heroes (using Wine / Lutris). Takes a little getting used to when I have mostly used Debian-based distros in the past.

    Lemmy has a similar number of active users and makes about 3K . That money would be good for the ecosystem and could help fund upstream projects (I am sure wine could use the money for example). But they will have to use fundraising methods similar to lemmy to reach that number (popup, good message etc)

    The donate page is kinda a mess IMO to be honest. There should be one organisation to donate to otherwise this creates overchoice.

    Upstream, the Fedora KDE Plasma edition is also doing well. Nice to see that within the first release after promotion to a full edition.

    Gonna install CachyOS tomorrow.

    I know I’m late but …

    spoiler

    It took me a while to backup all my game saves and memes from Windows 10 because Proton Drive limits you to 2GB unless you pay and if you don’t pay your subscription they delete your email address. Could’ve gone with another provider but I was due for a spring cleaning anyway.

    I was also trying to get through my Itch library to save me the hassle of figuring out how to work Lutris but then the Steam Next Fest came and I gave up on clearing my backlog since I have a hard deadline of the next Steam Hardware Survey.

      Perhaps a bit unconventional, but CloudFlare R2 gives 10GB of free storage accessible as S3 with rclone.

        I know I have other options, Google Drive for example, I just didn’t want to use anything new so I did things the hard way.

    Booted up Bazzite and everything just worked except League of Legends anticheat and Linux SteamVR. Supposedly SteamVR got patched. So League is the last thing keeping me on Windows 11. Could probably boot to Win11 as needed anytime I want to though

    What happened the 3rd week of April? Fedora got a massive spike there. The other one has a small bump at that time as well

    anyone have experience with bazzite and mint, with a focus toward gaming? The box i want to try on, i have been procrastinating hooking up and dealing with the contents (it was my dad’s work computer and i’m the only family member with professional ethical requirements relating to confidentiality so it went to me)

      I use mint for gaming and general use and I havent had issues. However I dont really play AAA+ games, mostly older games.
