Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work
Johnnyvibrant@discuss.tchncs.de 20 hours agoBazzite steam mode is functionally identical to steam os, and in my experience I haven’t had to fuck around with any game. Got Spiderman, GTA 5 and Cyberpunk working (as well as they can considering the hardware) working by just downloading them.
Its pretty much steam os but based on fedora immutable. I like it a lot, especially in desktop mode where the KDE version is more current.

Noodle probably only knows Linux from fiddle distros and now thinks that SteamOS is the only one that works out of the box which is just not true. There are plenty of mainstream options like Bazzite.

Very true, and tbh i havent bothered to attempt gaming on anything other than the steam deck.

At worst you need to install Steam on other distributions and then compatibility is no different than on SteamOS (on equal hardware because hardware, of course) because Steam runs its games inside standardized containers since some time.

Thats really encouraging and with the Steam VR headset betting on flatpak as one of its main avenues actually super exciting considering its an arm box.
