7 hours agoI’ve been using Fedora for while but I decided to try Bazzite and for the most part it’s been a great out of the box experience. I didn’t have to mess with NVidia and Wayland as much as I did with vanilla Fedora.
It is a little wonky compared to other distros. I don’t like the way some features are managed, but for a new non-Linux user, they won’t know the difference. I highly recommend it for people that just want to jump on Steam and go.
That’s a good point overall and definitely something to consider.
However, I don’t think it applies to Bazzite specifically because they’ve had such a meteoric growth rise in popularity over the last year. They have more resources to make that stuff.
But, I don’t think most people in modern hardware need to do much for Bazzite to get going. I think unless they want to play Windows games, they shouldn’t need to do anything weird.
Bazzite handled all the annoying setup for Wayland and the Nvidia drivers. Bazzite also manages the updates without a user needing to know how the terminal works. (I personally don’t like that, but it’s probably good for new users).
Bazzite also has fairly robust documentation, which is probably not the case for most Atomic Distros. They also have pretty decent support on social media and in their discord server.
