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 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.
B-b-but NixOS!
I use Windows BTW.
For work. They force me to 😭
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
The worst thing is it is legacy, but it’s legacy Java. Why on earth am I developing with Windows?
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?
Imagine using Linux when you can use TempleOS.
I tried that once, my computer caught fire then told me to kill my son,
I don’t even have a sonthink I’ll just stick to linux
Holy C is too much, I am not worthy
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.
I use CachyOS BeeTeeDubs…
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. 😌
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.
In which ways is it better? right now I’m defaulting to bazzite for my desktop as I already got a steam deck.
Well I can’t speak for everyone, but I noticed significant gains in a couple of the games I played when switching. Specifically Minecraft and Dune: Awakening. I’m getting upwards of 100fps in Minecraft with BSL shaders on ultra now, and I’m playing on a laptop. When I was on Bazzite I was getting less than 60fps with shaders, so I didn’t use them at all.
Depending on the DE you pick, it can be pretty good on the battery life too.
Dammit I really did just recommend CachyOS to someone, although I also like OpenSUSE!
openSUSE Tumbleweed made me love my computer again. It also games like I’m not even missing anything from Windoze. NVIDIA GPU and everything. I’m sure there are “better” distros, but openSUSE was the one that got me to stay, and I couldn’t be happier!
Haha… No its not, but bazzite users really want it to be. :)
Pft. I compile Gentoo for my GameCube, btw
… I use Bazzite btw
Agreed! Skim my post history. I’m in the meme.
And it’s because I’m so happy I have a plug n play version of Linux that I don’t have to troubleshoot. It’s 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. I’d recommend it over Mint for new Linux users.
I wouldn’t recommend it for people who love using the command line or run virtual machines.
Well. Shit. Now I’ve got no excuses.
No, that’s Garuda.
Also gaming focused, also super easy, not so locked down it won’t let you change your login background, also has great Nvidia support. Arch.
