I am very ashamed that I own a single wolfire title.
It currently breaks Firefox, but they're working on it.
All of that coping and seething Toyota's CEO has been doing about electric cars sure does look stupid right now.
We're aware of it, it's just complicated and directly related to kernel differences between Valve's heavily modified 6.1 and Fedora's 6.6/soon to be 6.7
This release lays the groundwork since it's the first one with a fully custom kernel. In addition updates will be coming faster for the foreseeable future. A lot was held back due to us working on maintaining secure boot support when switching kernels.

The main difference, and what got me to start this project, is that you can layer on packages. This means no more dealing with disabling read-only and losing your changes every time you update.
Besides that, this incorporates a huge number of community made features such as SDGyroDSU and Discover Overlay OOTB, a newer kernel than even SteamOS 3.6, DisplayLink support, Nvidia support (on desktop), and so on.
It's essentially become an immutable/atomic gaming spin on Fedora, with full support for the deck.
Only missing feature compared to SteamOS 3.6 is HDR, we're waiting for Fedora to land it in stable rather than port all of that from SteamOS.
And then of course there's a ton of features we add that SteamOS doesn't have. We build from stable Fedora and keep our patches minimal so the intent is for Bazzite to be as stable.
Preview of the next release, need to fix an issue with Xbox controller detection and then we'll add it to the Bazzite Portal for anyone to easily use.
And yes, the SteamOS keyboard works!

There's a KDE and GNOME version, the deck release has gamemode and Valve's KDE themes/similar themes for GNOME. It's functionally identical.
The installer will even offer to set up EmuDeck and Decky Loader for you.
The real question we need to be asking ourselves is do games need to be long or do they need to be good?
The answer is they need to be good, which is exactly why I won't be touching this piece of shit.

I read the complaints and I lost all respect. I will not be spending another cent with that company, nor will I attend any of his future talks.
