Bazzite has a very simple process for installing software that isn’t on Flatpak: You spin up a virtual machine running a better distro and install it there

        Are you a Bazzite dev?

        It’s okay, I promise we still like Bazzite. We’re just haha-ing over here, nothing personal.

          I am not, I just really like it lol… And people seem to have lots of misconceptions about it so I like to try to clear that stuff up when I see it.

          I moved to Cachy for my Ally now. It’s swap implementation allow me to set the VRAM on auto and play Last Epoch and my TTW install without crashing due to running out of RAM.

          Because I play games on my PC and bazzite works wonderfully for that right out of the box?

          Because I like the concept of an immutable distro and not having to ever worry about an update breaking my install, and not being able to boot to my desktop ever again?

          What makes it a “better distro” exactly?

          Also, I can install/run packages from any other distro and package manager from there, not just “the better distro.” I use it to access the AUR for example. There aren’t many limitations there at all. While also being incredibly stable…

              Well, I can’t speak to that as I have no experience with it. I do know that bazzite has a couple preconfigured “ujust” commands related to setting up nvidia drivers. No idea how well it works.

                Bazzite desktop seems to be completely usable with a 20XX+ card. It’s Gaming Mode that boots straight into steam big picture mode that where all of the issues lie.

                Cards below do suffer even on desktop though and can regularly crash due to an instability in their drivers when using wayland.
