tl;dr: windows is worse in each of their measures

[–] hakase@lemmy.zip 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And many other measures besides.

Not in data mining. You may not even be able to make a vertical taskbar, but you can be sure every keystroke is being recorded.

I'd long been mulling over what distro to switch my family computer to soon. But after years with Steam Deck and digging through so many suggestions for months, I really think I'm just going with SteamOS. Good enough.

Consider Bazzite.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Thought I'd read bazzite was forked from something no longer updating and they were possibly going to end it?

That was probably the dramma about Fedora ending support of 32b libraries, which Steam heavily relies on and won't easily work without.

It's still being discussed, and even if they go through with it (which is a PR suicide for Fedora), it won't be earlier than in two years.

It was rescinded

As far as I understand, Bazzite is a version of Universal Blue, which is a fork of Fedora Atomic.

I don't think any of that is disappearing any time soon, though I did read something about Universal Blue no longer autobuilding a bunch of different spins of the system or something. Would that be what you're thinking of?

SteamOS isn't released/ready for desktop use yet.

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm waiting for SteamOS too. Bazzite seems to have a rough time with Nvidia cards (and HDR)

[–] moomoomoo309@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

SteamOS will have the same issues, Nvidia doesn't like to play nice on Linux.

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I expect so, but I also suspect Valve might be waiting for nvidia to get their shit together (or the open source community to do it for them) before making SteamOS officially available on desktop. I just don’t have the bandwidth to troubleshoot or follow developments around it myself

[–] moomoomoo309@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

They probably are waiting for the open source driver to be rock-solid, and it's getting there.
