Only the kernel module is open source, and it’s just a wrapper for closed source blobs.

In actuality the open source drivers just kill all support for the 10 series, and otherwise do nothing to fix Nvidia’s utterly fucked up driver problems.

Your use case works

They all try to share patches and ideas too, if there’s competition - it’s friendly.

The testing build of Bazzite should have everything in your bottom link and more ;)

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!

I don’t, why are you speaking for 7 billion people?

I can do that without Windows and most of my games run better on Linux. Best is very subjective.

Just make sure it’s mounted in fstab, same as any other distro. If it’s a permanent drive I would mount it to /var/mnt/ChangeMe

Late reply but all of this has been fixed, sorry for the headache.

Should support both, but there’s an upstream kernel bug at the moment that can cause certain RDNA GPUs to lock at the lowest clock speed at certain resolutions and refresh rates. Just something to look out for

It can, but I wouldn’t recommend doing it for long

Screenshots are on the GitHub, https://bazzite.gg/

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.

Hopefully won’t be a very long wait for that, red hat is really pushing for HDR right now.

Can they bring back making games worth playing first?
