    Linux veteran here. I use Bazzite on my gaming PC and ROG Ally. Once I figured out the quirks of an immutable distro and started using distroboxes it became an amazing experience. No complaints here.

      I’m seriously considering Bazzite now. Can you explain whether something like LaTeX with custom packages would work? I also don’t want to redownload the LaTeX packages to vanish after a system update.

      Also, I’m a tiling window user (i3). Will it be possible to use it in desktop mode?

        As per my other comment:

        Do your latex work inside a distrobox and you’re fine.

        I’m not sure if you can layer another window manager on top. You may have to create a custom image for that

    Jorge, Kyle and the others over at ublue is doing a great job with their Fedora spins.

    I run Bazzite on all my computers and if you got a full AMD system you can even get full gamemode running by installing the deck image. This in turn give you the best controller experience for games, as Desktop Steam got several issues with Steam Input valve have not fixed yet.

    But not all credit should go to them for this but also ChimeraOS team, Nobara and others that are constantly working on an improved gaming experience on Linux.

    When developing RetroDECK Steam Input profiles I mainly use the Steam Deck with SteamOS and Bazzite on my desktop to test them.

    Just to clear some misunderstandings, TLE did a performance test on this distro and it was pretty much the same in terms of FPS as other distros. Gaming distros like Bazzite are made for a faster and easier setup process because gaming tools and stores and preinstalled.

      Without measuring any 1% lows or 0.1% lows.

      I enjoy TLE’s content, but that video is far from exhaustive on this.

      Unless a better comparison comes out, we should reserve ourselves from making any judgements on this particular subject.
