Can you dual boot it yet with other linuxes? I want to split gaming and productivity.
Is Bazzite better for gaming? What are you running currently?
Its not better per se compared to other Linuxes for gaming, just pre-configured to take a lot of the basic setup work out of it for you.
What setup? AMD BTW. Just install steam and go...
You don't own your games you "bought" on Steam so.. no
I tried it out and challenged myself not to touch the terminal to fix anything for as long as I could, to see if it is a truly ready-out-of-the-box experience.
It is actually very intuitive for gaming, what makes it feel more suited than most distros for me is that flatpak apps that you don't have installed show up in the start menu, ready to add if you need them. Other OSs are leaner and cleaner but you'd have to know the package name.
I managed to get everything started, games and stuff including minor tweaks, and the first time I needed to use the terminal was to work out how to get some fan control working. I didn't succeed in setting it up. So I took away from that experience that low level hardware OS tasks are harder to access in Bazzite.
Yeah, basically the only thing I really use the terminal for is
ujust, a series of scripts maintained by Bazzite themselves. And ujust does have a script to install a GUI fan controller app, btw, which I've used to setup my own fan curves, and found it pretty darn usable despite it being the first time I've done such a thing.The OS is immutable, so you're probably right that lower level tasks are harder, but Bazzite themselves have stepped in and created a dedicated command for pretty much anything finicky I've thought to do in the past year or so.
