Bazzite comes ready to rock with Steam and Lutris pre-installed, HDR support, BORE CPU scheduler for smooth and responsive gameplay, and numerous community-developed tools for your gaming needs.
Setting up is stupid easy. What makes immutable distros potentially difficult is installing software. Anything packaged as a flatpak is stupid easy. Beyond that it can get complicated. But it’s not bad in general.
Having just switched to Linux with Bazzite two weeks ago, my biggest issues have come from Wayland support. And that’s really just because I have a specific piece of software I need that doesn’t support Wayland. And that’s a bit of an edge case and the result is more annoyance than show stopper.
Just use brew for non-gui programs. Really easy. It’s the recommended way by the ublue devs and should be pre-installed
Can’t you use Xwayland?
No, because it’s a software KVM and it needs to be able to read, mirror, and suppress mouse and keyboard actions.
Which can be done on Wayland but it needs to be dome from a Wayland native app
Can relate
What app? I’m installing Bazzite right now and there is an app I need to be able to use, that may not work on Bazzite. Is it Proton VPN?
Nope. It’s a software KVM called Synergy.
Luckily for you, protonvpn is in flathub https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www
Yeah, the flatpak doesn’t work right and isn’t officially supported by Proton, which is part of the reason I left KDE Plasma for Workstation, which is GNOME, but it’s officially supported there.
