I’m waiting for a 2TB drive to arrive to upgrade the 512GB in my Legion Go and one of the first things I wanted to do was set up to dual boot Bazzite.
These little blurbs make me want to just blow away Windows right now though and go all in on Bazzite. Especially as I play literally zero “popular multiplayer shooting games”.
I won’t consider these new devices because they don’t have touch pads, but if inwas gifted one or had a friend that had one I would definitely recommend Bazzite if they don’t play many multiplayer titles.
Great to see it taking off.

Maybe we’re talking about different things… but, there is a touchpad on my Legion Go?
There is but only on one side and, while I’ve not personally used it, the size and placement seem to make it more of a cursor aid than something that can be used well in games.
I’ve not tried to use it in games, but given the “scroll, lift, reset… scroll, lift, reset” x50 it takes to get across the Windows desktop, I would agree.
It does have “FPS mode”, which basically turns the right controller into a vertical mouse. I haven’t used that for basically anything either, but I’ve read rave reviews from some FPS players!
I think if you cut the player base roughly in half, the players that care for multiplayer titles which don’t work on Linux (yet) are also the ones not caring as much about touchpads; while the other half are a different kind of gamer who appreciates or even needs them.
I totally agree. I want the touch pads so I can play old games that were designed for a keyboard and mouse or a shooter that works better with them. Younger gamers aren’t going to want to tinker getting an old game to run and are likely to have been brought up on a controller and don’t see it as a hinderance.
That’s why I love the Steam Deck, it was built for all the nerds out there and it’s fabulous.
I mostly use them for really simple things like hovering the cursor over something to show a tooltip, or navigating menus in DRG and the inventory in Minecraft.
I realized how much I miss this hybrid approach when I had my 3 month long Genshin Impact phase. Genshin does support either Keyboard and Mouse or controller input, but not both at thw same time, and the menus suffer from mildly inconsistent UI and UX.

Another glowing review for Bazzite. I use it as my laptop OS because I just want things to work and don’t really need to configure things in the system. I have a proxmox cluster with a couple nodes for that sort of stuff
Ok, but screenshots of text blocks? Copypaste wouldn’t have been easier?
What does “cloud native” Linux mean?
It’s Linux designed around modern containerization and microservice technologies. The “cloud” naming is a bit of a misnomer, but the same abstracted technologies that help run a modern data center will help make sure your handheld’s launcher doesn’t break because a game or comparability layer wants to use a different database version. https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/DEFINITION.md
Re: the GitHub definition.
Wow, I haven’t read so much bullshit marketing speak since when everything was called “Object Orientated”.
I run bazzite on my desktop PC, it’s freaking amazing, I love it.
