Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.

Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

This is why I chose it. Gaming living room computer that kids can't easily break. It just worked. Well, except for my idea to dual boot and have games pulling from an ntfs hdd. Bazzite hated that idea. So if you're using bazzite, make sure your games are on a Linux partition. Even though Linux is ok with ntfs for some reason beyond my expertise... Games do not like it.

Steam tends to have massive issues with permissions for games on NTFS partitions. You might've run into that.

I second this, had the exact same issue but on Arch back in February. But luckily windows can be made to play nice with non-NTFS drives.
