I don’t have much experience with Linux, but I do have some. I’m thinking of leaving Windows as I’m trying to focus more on privacy and less AI.
I tried a Bazzite bootable install, and everything seemed to work great except for one thing- the RGB on my XPG ram sticks. OpenRGB controlled everything except those sticks as they went undetectable by the software. I tried the latest experimental OpenRGB build with no improvements.
That seems to be the only incompatible bit. While annoying it’s not a deal breaker. How do you feel about using bazzite on a higher end desktop for gaming and as a daily driver? I don’t play any games that use kernel anticheat.
UPDATE: Installed it this morning. Went with the Gnome version. Really enjoying it so far! Still getting everything situated, but I’m a happy camper. Thanks for the help, everyone :)
I’m so terribly sorry that I’m not confident in Linux. I hope you can forgive me one last time, oh great software master.
I also beg for forgiveness that I prefer an old-school forum or something similar over a Discord server when I need to ask for help.
Great damage was done to the Linux and especially Bazzite community by my actions and I deserve to be spit on and kicked into the dirt.
You didn’t damage any community, I’m just wondering how the fk you commit such a massive f up, I’m suprised you havent had issues with windows considering you messed up 3 drives trying to install linux
You had a very weird way too communicate that because for me it looked like a condescending better-than-you attitude.
My perspective is coming from dealing with reinstalling windows so I can play iracing and wrc this week, such a chore had to let it update all the way incorrectly after the wifi drivers wouldn’t manually install (had to use ethernet and let it install the same exact ones), then after it was finally done I could uninstall the wrong graphics driver that windows and ms store both try to download if wifi is on, so ofc need to download the correct graphics driver first, then go into safemode and use a third party app ddu to uninstall the graphics driver, boot up with wifi off, install the correct one, then install adrenalin for gui settings because its seperate from the driver now apparently, finally hours later use my windows pc.
Meanwhile in the last year i’ve tried 10 distros for fun and each took 30 minutes max with wifi and all drivers just working by default. All the steps were intuitive and extremely simple with graphics and explanations installing every distro. I just can’t imagine windows being less of a hassle unless you only buy something with windows and never reinstall it.
My last point isn’t even accurate becuase my laptop originally came with the wrong driver that cant be updated, had to the whole ddu thing long before I reinstalled
