I can't recommend Bazzite (or one of its related distros Bluefin or Aurora) enough as a daily driver OS on your desktop and laptop. I dropped Windows this year and couldn't be happier about it.

Is it PITA to run if you have Nvidia GPU?

[–] PunkiBas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm running it with an nvidia GTX970 as my daily driver for months now and it's been flawless.

No, I also made the switch and honestly it's pretty much worked out of the box for me. I've got the integrated graphics with a discrete card too - I was worried initially, but it seems to handle it fine

I've had some sound issues, and a few games run worse or need some tweaking to run, but after dual booting for a while I'm considering wiping windows for extra storage

There's inconveniences, but with windows getting worse and Linux getting better I'm feeling pretty good about the deal

As I mentioned in another comment, I recently switched from EndeavourOS to Bazzite on my laptop, and it has been amazing. I've only scratched the surface with regards to understanding the ins and outs of ostree, but I can say that so far I really like it. I'm all in on immutable, I think the whole idea is awesome.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm also loving immutable. It took me a while to get the hang of it, though. And it can be confusing to someone who doesn't know anything about Linux if they read instructions online for a different distro.

I started on Bazzite, but later installed Aurora instead. I then rebased back to Bazzite for a while because I thought it would help with a very specific piece of software. I have since rebased back to Aurora, hopefully for good. But I love how easy it is to rebase.

I haven't looked into rebasing yet... Is it really just as easy as entering the command and rebooting?

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, it's crazy how easy it is.
