Checking this out now! So far I like it. Only think I lose from using Gboard is the access to gifs, but I can work around that.

Ouch, didn’t realize the Nvidia build was struggling. Hopefully it gets patched up soon.
If there’s a previous commit before the issue is introduced you can pin it and wait to unpin until the issue gets resolved.
Fedora (including Silverblue/Kionite) is hard to recommend as a first distro though. It’s an excellent platform when you know your end goal and how to get there, while providing “leading-edge” packages that’s great for gaming.
But a project like Bazzite? Phenomenal new user experience for gaming and a very easy recommend.
That’s the one. Waiting for the patch to make it’s way downstream.
+1 for Bazzite. I stopped hopping around when I tried it with Fedora 38, been using it since.
I’ve had one problem related to kernel 6.9.x affecting Steam game stability on my old hardware ( i5 2500k). Newer systems have BIOS settings that mitigate the issue. It’s not a Bazzite specific problem. However, I was able to roll back and pin a previous image that uses kernel 6.8.x. Will unpin and update once I see a fix deployed.
Cool, but would probably just install Bazzite anyway.
Yes, and I love it.
I only use my PC for gaming and web browsing. I mainly stuck with Fedora, but also used Tumbleweed and Nobara. Regardless of which distro I used I was never fully satisfied with the initial setup or upkeep.
Fedora was great, but I was hopping around often and there was always a setup process to get Steam and what not installed and set up.
Nobara is a great option with gaming tools installed and setup for you. However, it’s maintained by a single (awesome) dude and major upgrades often require some manual work arounds.
Tumbleweed was great until there were updates. More times than not, updates failed due to repo or dependency issues.
Bazzite, however, is the first (and only, so far) distro where I quite literally install, reboot, launch and log into Steam, start playing games. No other setup steps were required as everything I need is baked into the image. And with the automatic updates there’s been no upkeep.
Since installing Bazzite I’ve had no desire to try anything else, which is great. More time for gaming. 🎮
I chose to use auto login for my PC. This way I’m only using my password to decrypt the drive after a reboot or the login screen after waking ffrom sleep.
If you do enable the packman repo, expect intermittent dependency conflicts when running zypper dup
. When it happens, wait a day or so for repos to update.
Edit: spelling
Let people enjoy things.
And if it does, roll back to the previous snapshot.
Damn. Currently running with a Keytron K8 but Drop was high on my consideration list for my next buy.
Great suggestions. The Ventoy bros are weird. Just use what works for you.
