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.
Your it guy gets a window?!
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
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)
Guy came into my workplace this week and I was saying I was slowly getting into developing a game engine with SDL. When he heard I was using ubuntu he recommended Bazzite, saying he has no trouble with it and uses his machine mostly for gaming. Is it Debian based or something else? At least it’s not that meme distro Arch I guess, might try it
It’s Fedora based. If you want to develop on it, it supports containerized workflows. There’s a DX version explicitly designed for developers.
I don’t use Linux yet but when I do change it will be Bazzite btw. (I have an Nvidia graphics card and from the little research I did, Bazzite seems to be a good distro for Linux gaming)
I use Bazzite btw and I am yet to encounter a game that it won’t run.
I use openSUSE btw.
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
I’m on Aeon. Does that count?
Me too and I’m pretty sure it counts!
I
useam compiling Gentoo BTWSame here, for over a year! Made me love Linux, and computing again! Even games like I’m not missing anything from Windoze, and that’s all I really needed! :)
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.
Well. Shit. Now I’ve got no excuses.
The user base for other universal-blue distros like Aurora is way smaller so it’s actually special. I use Aurora btw.
Aurora on my work machine, Bazzite on my home machine haha
It’s on my Framework 13. 😌
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.
You are late. They moved on to CachyOS. Give it a few months and it will be a new one again.

In which ways is it better? right now I’m defaulting to bazzite for my desktop as I already got a steam deck.

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 use TempleOS btw.
Excuse me, this is a Linux community, I’m afraid you’re going to have to leave.
/joke
Gaming like God intended
I use Fedora which is Bazzite with different preinstalled bloat
Can easily make your own Bazzite FROM Silverblue.
Pft. I compile Gentoo for my GameCube, btw
B-b-but NixOS!
I truly believe Nobara to be better suited for gaming than Bazzite. I don’t really get the hype. But then again, to each his own distro.
Bazzite is like a easy newbie introduction to Linux. It’s really hard to mess up Bazzite, like really hard. In the same regard it can also be a pain to install anything outside of their ecosystem. If you run it with Distrobox it’s not a big deal but I don’t see a lot of new users going that route. If you’re just looking to browse, stream, and game than Bazzite is perfect and you don’t need anything else. Beyond that? Distrobox or use a different distro.
I tried Bazzite, I didn’t like it, I found it too limiting but I do see the appeal of it.
I’m on Bazzite after giving the other ublue flavours a try. It took a couple of weeks to get comfortable with the new philosophy, but now I can’t see myself going back. What felt like limitations at first, now feels like good habits. All my dev work is done in containers, so it just makes sense.
As a nobara user: it needs a better update tool, what’s implemented is complete dogshit that acts invisibly but if you interrupt it oh boy enjoy reinstalling the entire system because you just destroyed it
Which is why I use
sudo nobara-sync cli(this is built-in)Fast, simple and verbose

I’m not sure if that reasoning is true, though. The popularity over time of both Bazzite and Nobara can be viewed through many different ways, but the data seems to suggest that Bazzite overtaking Nobara in popularity happened long after both had received their respective Steam Deck images. Heck, even Bazzite’s own metrics seem to suggest that the hype is a very recent one. This is also reflected on social media platforms like Youtube:
- Bazzite’s most viewed videos were all created within the last year or so
- While Nobara’s most viewed videos were all created over two years ago
As for how or why Bazzite succeeded in overtaking Nobara? I actually don’t know. Perhaps it’s simply because it happens to be closer to SteamOS[1] in design philosophy. Or, maybe its atomic/‘cloud-native’ (or whatever) nature makes it (somehow) more attractive to install for the crowd that (at least traditionally) never got into Linux.
FWIW -perhaps we may find the crux of the matter in here- if I had to pick a distro to use on my personal gaming rig, then I’d probs go for CachyOS[2] for its (ever-so-slightly) superior performance. But…, if I were to install a distro on the gaming rig of a new-Linux user, then I’d undoubtedly go for Bazzite instead.
