Guy came into my workplace this week and I was saying I was slowly getting into developing a game engine with SDL. When he heard I was using ubuntu he recommended Bazzite, saying he has no trouble with it and uses his machine mostly for gaming. Is it Debian based or something else? At least it's not that meme distro Arch I guess, might try it
It's Fedora based. If you want to develop on it, it supports containerized workflows. There's a DX version explicitly designed for developers.
I use Windows BTW.
For work. They force me to π
Please send help!
Just leave a penguin's head in your boss' bed
/joke
I love penguins. Can't I just put a broken window in there?
Well, use a whole penguin then
/joke
The window it is. I'll add extra shards as a garnish.
Your it guy gets a window?!
It could be worse. You could be stuck with legacy or embedded windows shudders
I don't use Linux yet but when I do change it will be Bazzite btw. (I have an Nvidia graphics card and from the little research I did, Bazzite seems to be a good distro for Linux gaming)
I use Bazzite btw and I am yet to encounter a game that it won't run.
Imagine not using Hannah Montana Linux. I literally can't do it. Why would you use anything else when all the other distros are so inferior?
Rightfully so!
(I use Bazzite btw)
It's honestly so easy to get into and works, I'm honestly surprised it isn't suggested more!
(I use bazzite btw)
I use Fedora which is Bazzite with different preinstalled bloat
Can easily make your own Bazzite FROM Silverblue.
B-b-but NixOS!
The user base for other universal-blue distros like Aurora is way smaller so it's actually special. I use Aurora btw.
Aurora on my work machine, Bazzite on my home machine haha
It's on my Framework 13. π
I feel called out, "I use Bazzite btw" is literally a joke I made irl last week.
Some Bazzite users touch grass and talk to people IRL, surprising, I know.
You are late. They moved on to CachyOS. Give it a few months and it will be a new one again.
I did move on to CachyOS lmao.
but in my defense, it's because the CachyOS people in matrix wouldn't shut up about how good it was.
Dammit I really did just recommend CachyOS to someone, although I also like OpenSUSE!
I use TempleOS btw.
Excuse me, this is a Linux community, I'm afraid you're going to have to leave.
/joke
Gaming like God intended
I use CachyOS BeeTeeDubs...
No issues gaming on Mint! Tried bazzite couldn't get into it. Just doesn't feel usable daily and to game. Mint is just too polished and convenient.
Agreed! Skim my post history. Iβm in the meme.
And itβs because Iβm so happy I have a plug n play version of Linux that I donβt have to troubleshoot. Itβs more stable than W11 on my work computer. I love it so much. I could throw it on my grandmas computer and she would be fine. Iβd recommend it over Mint for new Linux users.
I wouldnβt recommend it for people who love using the command line or run virtual machines.
Well. Shit. Now I've got no excuses.
I donβt use Bazzite, but I do recommend it for new Linux users.
Generally I think immutable distros are the best entry-level distros for newcomers. Stops people from accidentally bricking their system.
Why?
Not judging or anything. Just curious why it's your go-to. Mine's either "Ubuntu" or "try several live distros, see what you like the feel of before installing one".
I would never recommend Ubuntu to anyone. Canonical cannot be trusted and Snaps are a plague on Linux. They care more about their own control than the needs of users.
But why Bazzite?
It lets new users get back to their lives without having to learn much of anything. If users get more advanced and need to go non-atomic, I recommend graduating to Fedora KDE. It stays familiar but gives more control.
From there, a Linux pilgrim has all the tools and experience they need to make their Linux journey their own.
Thanks. Let me check my understanding here. You don't trust Canonical, but you do trust Red Hat?
No I do not. However, Red Hat does not control Fedora, they sponsor it.
Haha... No its not, but bazzite users really want it to be. :)
