Comment on PSA: If you use Bazzite on your deck, you need to do a manual fix to get updates

  As someone who’s never heard of Bazzite until this thread, what is the appeal of using it on desktop?

    It’s an atomic variant of Fedora that satisfies all necessities for gaming with Linux, like coming with built in drivers and the option to install stuff like Steam and Discord during initial startup.

    Atomic varieties of Linux are really cool, they are much less prone to breakage because all updates happen at once or not at all. They are just generally more stable and you can rollback easily if necessary.

    Personally I just like Fedora, so my preconfigured options are either Bazzite or Nobara. I also prefer the stability of atomic variants. It’s just a solid base to work with, regardless of if you’re using a desktop or a handheld.

      Also if an update gets completely borked while installing (i.e. you lost power), then it just boots into the version you were running previously thanks to the A/B update scheme. It’s neat.

    “It just works” from what I understand.
