  • I’ve been running bazzite for about 6 months now, daily driving for about 5 months and its never once broken on me. During boot, you’re presented with 4 snapshots you can choose between so if an update did happen to break something, it’s easy as just choosing an older snapshot after a reboot. No idea why that commenter thinks it’s hard tbh.

    I’m running it on a 7600x and a 6700XT GPU. Everything just worked out of the box for me, steam games work perfectly 99% of the time in my experience, and when you run into an issue just go to protondb and you’ll probably find the fix there.

    Games run through lutris can be annoying at times, the EA app and battle.net games glitch out on me much more than steam games, but they do work, just gotta tinker with proton and wine versions till it runs.

    Highly recommend bazzite, I love it after being a life long Windows user.

















  • I’m kinda mixed on it so far, I feel like I should’ve gone with something like Endeavour OS or something similar. Using a more commonly used distro would simplify troubleshooting and provide a bigger user base to siphon information from. I don’t have any problems with Bazzite but I’m kinda feeling like I’m missing out by not using something a bit more complex tbh.

    I’ve read about rpm-ostree and my impression is I’d rather not use it to install anything if I can avoid it, which also feeds into my desire to use a different distro.

    Bazzite comes pre-installed with distrobox and boxbuddy, I’ll need to put more effort into learning how to use it. I’ve read up on the basics of it but I haven’t yet put in the effort to fully understand that program.

    I’ll check out that video, thank you for the link. I also wanted to say that you’ve been a massive help and I greatly appreciate all of your help that you’ve provided me! Thank you!


  • I’m perfectly fine with that, in fact I’d like to learn more about how to use the terminal in detail cause I find it fun. Part of why I switched to Linux is because I’m bored of Windows, among many other issues it has these days. Learning a new OS is fun, I’m enjoying my time with Linux so far.

    You’re the 2nd person to bring up my choice of Bazzite, I don’t have much installed yet so I’m open to switching to another distro if that’ll make things easier for what I want my system to do. I almost installed Endeavour OS but ended up going with Bazzite because I’ve heard that Arch distros can be a pain to keep up, but I’m speaking out of ignorance, I still know barely anything about Linux.

    Basically I want something at least somewhat stable for a Linux noob, but I don’t want something like Ubuntu or Linux mint, I’d prefer a more “intermediate” distro over a beginner one like the previously mentioned distros. Building Arch from scratch is a bit much for me for example, but I don’t want it overly simplified either. What would you recommend for a distro?
