Just rebuilt my living room gaming PC this weekend and installed Bazzite. The most exciting feature for me so far has been that SLEEP WORKS. I can just put the system to sleep and resume whenever I want. 10/10

Follow up to this: just bought the minis forum BD790i. I'm using it now with the sapphire nitro + Radeon 7800xt. I've installed Bazzite now and I'm giving it a run for its money.
Emphatically Yes!
This was an absolute scourge on gaming in the 2000s. I remember when gears of war came out on PC and the most popular mod simply removed post processing effects from the game. It instantly went from poop brown to James Cameron Terminator 2 judgement day Blu-ray edition levels of teal.
I think the teal was better TBH.
Remember when uncharted came out on the PS3 and there was a feature in the menu called "Next-Gen mode" that just put a brown filter over everything?
I've built a small PC with erying es 0000 Chinese motherboard and a Radeon 7800xt. I've loaded ChimeraOS onto it. I essentially now have the steam machine I always wanted.
I plan on making it smaller but the GPU is quite big. I'm thinking about getting the minisforum bd790i next and moving to an itx case that will support the 3 slot AMD Nitro+ GPU.
From the software standpoint, it's awesome. You download the game and it runs. Minimal fiddling. Just beat silent hill 2 on it and now in repaying RE4.
I can't recommend these erying motherboards to everyone, it's actually quite a big gamble IMO. The minisforum is probably a safer bet.
I've done this and my living room has never been a happier place.
I passed on this one because I always feel like there's a real chance I'll get screwed one way or another by Ubisoft so I just avoid them outright.
What's stopping you from building your own Bazzite Box right now? (ChimeraOS is great too. ) Honestly, the things that make me most excited are
-
the combined rumors of Valve developing for Arm and
-
the Asahi Linux presentation from Alyssa Rosenzweig that shows you can run modern games from steam on Linux on arm mac NOW. https://rosenzweig.io/blog/aaa-gaming-on-m1.html
Valve's first party custom hardware is coming.
Sounds like free money for all those certificate authorities out there. Imma start my own CA with blackjack and hookers.
Nice. The adoption of Glorious Egroll's UMU project is a good thing for all.
If they have old shows you like they can't sell you new shows.
It's all artificial scarcity, just ask the millions of people pirating content.
That's a good question. I will have to test it out. I usually play wired. I think the minisforum BD790i I'm using has an Intel Bluetooth chip set. From my experience those have issues with the Xbox controllers and often the dongle is required. I do have the dongle so I will try it out.
