@thatdnaguy Bazzite is from the Fedora side of the family and should be in your consideration list. It is a monolithic so if that’s a showstopper then don’t, but otherwise give it a look. Steam is literally preinstalled for you.
I’m planning on a test install myself but due to extended support reasons haven’t got to it yet.

I don't think this is going to do anything but I really want to urge @jorge and the whole #bluefin team to reconsider their decision of quitting Discourse for GitHub Discussions. I believe that this is a huge mistake and makes the project even more inaccessible to people who are not developers.
I've had to use Github for years as a non developer and I still can't find my way around it. There are few things I dread more than having to find something on a GitHub project's page. It's not meant for most users, for me, it's an awful experience to use EVERY TIME, to the point where, and I kid you not, find it genuinely emotionally distressing which I know is purely an autistic bunny me thing, but still. It's not good.
One of the big aspect I love about Universal Blue projects, including Bluefin, is that discourse forum! It's been such a valuable resource for me. Making this switch makes it so that, for users like me, there might as well not be a forum at all. I understand that a lot of the Bluefin people are developpers, but they also keep advertising it as a project for everyone, with the ease to use of a Chromebook... and Github is everything but easy. :/
I may rebase to #Bazzite on my Framework honestly for this alone. Because I'm serious, the forum is that big of a ressource for me and GitHub is just that much of an inaccessible nightmare to me. And the justification given on the thread about AI tools are... I don't know, I really don't think that this is the more user friendly approach the teams seems to think it is.

I have thoughts on #Bazzite & #CachyOS #Linux flavors.
CachyOS is a pain in the ass to install through #VirtualBox. I've had nothing but problems with #Arch derivatives when testing through a VM. Once installed, it's a snappy little Desktop Environment. XFCE is my environment of choice.
Bazzite, a flavor of #Fedora, is strange. The default installation size is 22.1GB. 4 CPU cores & 4GB Ram if not enough hardware. Seems kind of bloated to me.
Just a couple observations. Thoughts?

#bazzite absolutely getting shit on in /r/linux_gaming for not being the usual distro.
Amazing, there's nothing like confirmation that you're making something special!

Well as expected, eventually this instance of #linux on the desktop, has started acting weird out of the blue. running #Bazzite / #universalblue with KDE plasma, where the plasmashell (??) will just try to restart it self then just die.
Don't know if its a #kdeplasma problem or a Bazzite problem but will now I gotta nuke this entire install all over again and try CachyOS. What a PITA.

It's interesting how the vast majority of times someone talks about Omarchy they try to emphasize it's built by DHH. I don't think the main selling point of a Linux distro should be "the guy who built it". There's a lot more to it, like for example "it uses Arch, btw", which funny enough is hardly mentioned until it gets to the "how to install" part.
PS: please don't try to "sell" me the distro. I already have enough news sites and podcasts trying to do it. 😄

11:58 You can also donate to Bazaar itself
And you'd have to be silly to not follow SteamOS's lead in choosing #flathub as the app store. Those users can also use Bazaar.
Developers and users have been telling us for years that they want a consistent app story.
#bazzite is also all in on Flathub-first.
I don't care if you use Bazzite or SteamOS, we all win either way.

Bazaar on Bazzite
@claus @ChrisShort
Fair question.
When I was using Fedora Workstation, I didn't care much for that. Reinstalling apps was usually good to get rid of old stuff.
Now that I am on #Bazzite, I haven't migrated yet, but most GUI apps come pre-installed as Flatpaks, it's easy to remember which ones are missing, and for anything CLI/TUI I'm using Homebrew, which gets installed under /home/linuxbrew, so they're supposed to be portable just like my data.

These days are crazy. It proves that the Linux Desktop is following a good and exciting path. @jorge maybe you've seen this already, hehe 😁

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.
You can see the effect the jayztwocents video had across Bazzite's community on discord, discoure, and reddit:

@rachel The point of #NixOS is to #bootsrap and #customize things. So that ur #configurations become #portable and works on everyone's #machine. In this sense #Bazzite, #SteamOS all can just do their own configurations, kernels etc in the Nix way. So comparing NixOS with Bazzite or anything else is not the right way.
For example, u can produce Bazzite, #Arch whatever with #Nix. Because NixOS is just a #declarative configuration by using #Nix.
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.

Bazzite just had a HUGE UPGRADE! (And more Linux Gaming News)
All of this and more today. That’s right, it’s Steam Deck (and Linux Gaming) news time.
