Yep, and they’re still quite troublesome. But installing Nvidia drivers is not the only problematic aspect of an immutable distro, so it doesn’t matter at all if Bazzite makes it easy as far as my point goes.

Sure…?

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.

If 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. The idea of a locked down system that gets most apps as Flatpaks sounds appealing, until the cracks start to show up.

I strongly suggest going with your other proposal, something like plain Fedora with KDE.

you’re not explaining how that works

My brother, search “how to purchase DLC on Steam”

You’re a bit slow my dude.

This software is free to download, but includes an additional optional purchase.

Guess what, old school RuneScape on Steam is also free to download, but includes an additional optional purchase.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Popular stress-testing app OCCT is coming to Steam and includes a special build for Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
So…?

I can download a free game on Steam and not download the paid DLC that unlocks whatever feature. How’s that hard to grasp compared to this piece of software?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Popular stress-testing app OCCT is coming to Steam and includes a special build for Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah? That’s how every purchase on Steam works? I don’t recall being forced to buy any game or DLC
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Popular stress-testing app OCCT is coming to Steam and includes a special build for Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
What do you mean?

“Optional non-recurring purchase” means buying something once lol, of course Steam lets you buy stuff.

GabeN once leaked his password on purpose to prove how secure Steam Authenticator was, before people were familiar with 2FA.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Doom the Dark Ages will not run well on steam deck at release⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I do 99.9% of my gaming on the Steam Deck… But it’s also important to recognize when it’s time to let go.

It was released using AMD hardware in the middle of a transition to ray tracing and path tracing replacing rasterized effects. It’s great hardware, but we need to accept that new releases will probably not be compatible with this system.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Got Steam Deck Verified, But It Still Has Issues⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s also worth noting that although very limited, the Steam Deck does actually support hardware accelerated ray tracing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Game] Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Got Steam Deck Verified, But It Still Has Issues⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This debate often arises in the Steam Deck communities because a huge proportion of Steam Deck users are PC users that now have a handheld, so this transition is jarring.

For people that actually had handhelds before, that’s not only normal, but actually quite good.

Go play Xenoblade Chronicles on a 3DS, at 240p with an unstable 30 FPS. I loved it anyway. How about Doom 2016 on the Nintendo Switch? Hope you enjoy settings lower than low on PC, lots of missing textures, and a stuttery 25 FPS - still one of the highest rated games on the Nintendo Switch subreddit.

Handhelds make sacrifices for portability. 30 FPS is fine, it just won’t ever compete with your 1000w gigantic desktop PC.

The Deck automatically stops charging and let’s the battery drain to around 95% when plugged in anyway.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT's hallucination problem is getting worse according to OpenAI's own tests and nobody understands why⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You’re not wrong, but it’s still a language model, which is not the entirety of how intelligence and reasoning works. There are clear limitations that do not arise only from people toying around with ChatGPT, but are known for decades of theoretical understanding of what language is.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT's hallucination problem is getting worse according to OpenAI's own tests and nobody understands why⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It’s also just a language model. People have trouble internalising what this means, because it sounds smarter than it actually is.

ChatGPT does not reason in the same way you think it does, even when they offer those little reasoning windows that show the “thought process”.

It’s still only predicting the next likely word based on the previous word. It can do that many times and feed in extra words to direct it one way or another, but that’s very different from understanding a topic and reasoning within it.

So as you keep pushing the model to learn more and more, you start getting many artifacts because it’s not actually learning these concepts - it’s just getting more data to infer “what’s the most likely word X that would follow words Z, Y and A?”
