Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era
woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 day agoIf you’re assuming the user will have trouble with SteamOS’ write protection, which I totally agree with, Bazzite is also surely going to cause headaches.
For the specific context I was replying to – Nvidia drivers – Bazzite’s write protection is completely irrelevant because there are editions with Nvidia drivers preinstalled.
The idea of a locked down system that gets most apps as Flatpaks sounds appealing, until the cracks start to show up.
Depends on the use case. SteamOS comes with Distrobox. All non-Flatpak needs of mine can be achieved through this.

Sure, but the original context was a new user wanting to try Linux on their gaming laptop.
Both Bazzite and SteamOS will result in headaches from their limitations.

And I was giving a heads up regarding Nvidia graphics and only Nvidia graphics. I know what I wrote.

Sure…?

It kind of does matter, from what I understand. nVidia’s closed-source laptop chip drivers were apparently a huge headache for Linux gaming.
