alt Hacker NewsSoooo, after having to migrate multiple college campus sites across to Windows 11 in time for the W10 drop dead date. I kinda gave up with trying to get my PC running Windows 11 without bugs and freezes.
Switched to PopOS, was "ok", switched to Arch, performance was awesome.
A few days ago I gave Bazzite a blast and now I'm currently installing it as the primary OS on my gaming rig. Other than a few small tweaks, it just works.
It's quite a bit more performant than PopOS and PopOS came with a myriad of tweaks and issues needed for things like Ubi Connect (I've been going through the first Division game with my kids and PopOS/Lutris hated... Everything...
It all just works on Bazzite.
Plus the Nvidia drivers don't seem as bad, unsure if it's just the RTX5xxx that were having issues ala GamersNexus but the 4090 doesn't seem to have the same frame time issues that were raised (Knock on wood)
Huu. I had the opposite experience almost. I’m a complete Linux noob. Could not get Bazzite to work as expected. Had much better luck with Arch though the install was a bit archaic. Managed to get a desktop and Steam installed with all drivers on the second attempt (which wasn’t to bad since Arch is a fast install.) It has worked flawless since. Absolutely zero bloat.
