@jorge I installed #bazzite on my main pc (abandoning windows finally) just over a week ago and aside from the drive mounting weirdness (a whole Linux thing from my experience) it has been a perfect experience so far. I even switched my laptops after that (had been on RebornOS, arch based but gui focused) which worked but had quirks. I especially like the bazaar which works so much better than discover (long time KDE fan here) Good stuff.

@jorge G'day Jorge. I suspect i'm one of the three peeps on the whole planet uninterested in gaming of any kind, so i've never tried #bazzite -- but that's a reflection only of my disinterest in gaming, not any kind of "political vote" against your distro. I know i am naive, but the sorts of idiocy & nastiness to which you & so many other wonderful #FOSS Devs & Maintainers routinely get exposed, leaves me gasping in confusion. I know they exist, sadly, yet i doubt i will ever understand why some peeps decide to try to make themselves feel better or bigger by making others feel bad. Best wishes to you, & all other Devs, to whom i feel endless gratitude since i belatedly discovered the FOSS world back in late 2013. All power to you.

@jorge #bazzite is by far the best Linux I have encountered in a long time, apart from #bluefinos of course. 😉

Nothing pleases me more than reminding elitist #linux users that we're making #bazzite whether they like it or not.

They're just so used to yelling they don't realize OSS doesn't need or want them. 😈

#UniversalBlue

@BrodieOnLinux Well hearing the developers comment on it that if you thing X11 security is bad, it's much worse than you think... and I like moving towards the future of where things will go. So (I commented on it when you asked about what kept people on X11) but I jumped to the Wayland session 2 realeases before Fedora defaulted to it (there were rough edges, but nothing like when I started using Linux, didn't have to configure wayland by hand like X in the day, or bounce between the dual boot of 95 and Linux to figure out how to configure a chat script to get on dial up internet, all while learning vi).
I know (in addition to being a Wayland shill 😉) you also shill for Arch, but IMHO it breaks itself too often... #fedora gets me new stuff faster, and doesn't break itself. When you do your main system upgrade and make a new system with the spare parts, you should really check out the #ublue image based / atomic systems. I run a custom build myself to have it just the way *I* want (pull bits from #bluefin / #bazzite / secureblue). Plus if you really want something from AUR you can always use distrobox to run the userspace of *ANY* OS on the rock solid base system. But really anything you want is probably in `brew` already anyways. @jorge and crew do an incredible job providing the container based tools to build (or just tweak theirs) to be how you want it.

I don't understand the excitement for #bazaar the new #flatpak frontend created for #bazzite and #UniversalBlue.

It doesn't seem to do anything better than #kdediscover and looks extremely out of place on #plasma.

I'm kind of confused

#fedora #atomicdesktops #flathub #appstores

I don't know who needs to hear this, but my Razer laptop, with NVIDIA GPU, running Bazzite, is a lot more stable, and quieter (fans not running all the time) after I disabled the "NVIDIA Optimus" in the BIOS. I'm sure I'm gonna pay this as higher battery consumption, but since I keep it plugged to the power brick most of the time, that shouldn't be a problem. I prefer the stability.

If you go through Jayztwocents channel the last video to do better than this was 5 months ago with the launch of the Nvidia 5090.

Just in case anyone is wondering if there's demand for #linux gaming content.

I use #Bazzite as my daily driver. Except for a few hiccups with NVIDIA and laptop sleep, I'm very happy with it. I never used NixOS, so I cannot compare, but AMA.

Thanks to Bazaar we now have a direct way to give new users a way to explore and install the applications they need.

And they have the data and donation information they need to help application developers get paid.

Let's set them both up for success! Let's fucking go!

So far quite enjoying Bazaar - the new default, Flatpak-only Software store that came with the latest #Bazzite update.

So snappy and pretty.

What would it take for the Atomic Desktops to be the default option in Fedora?

I tried to answer that question in my talk at this year's Flock to Fedora conference.

Happy Juneteenth!

Worked with kolumni today on the Bluefin styling for the bazaar app store for #gnome and #flathub

Got the GNOME search integration wired up, the performance feels really good. We'll likely switch to it within the next week or so ...

Since the styling is CSS #bazzite looks different, stay tuned!

So in my various linux OS adventures, I've recently been exploring #Bazzite (a gaming-focussed version of Linux). Running games on it is, for the most part, pretty painless (With the caveat that I am running older games on what used to be a mid/low-end gaming laptop that's 5 or 6 years old at this point)

HOWEVER, trying to use Bazzite as a normal linux distro has been unpleasant. I don't know if it's #KDE or Bazzite (or #Fedora, upon which Bazzite is based), but alt-tabbing between active windows (like between a game and a browser window or discord) has about an 80% chance of freezing so hard the whole OS locks up.

And trying to find info on how to fix things in Bazzite is a whole lot of "We don't support that, so you're on your own" from the Bazzite forums and stuff, and in Fedora forums, there's a whole lot of elitism and gatekeeping and very few answers (compared to debian forums) because whatever is wrong is obviously the fault of the user who should already know everything about how to use linux

Looks like someone made a #bazzite developer mode. Awesome work, people have been asking for this but no one was stepping up.

Now someone just made a thing people can try for themselves, excellent.
