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.

Surprised to see it at the bottom of the graph, but for anyone with a homelab uCore is a present from the ~~heavens~~ cloud!

The removal of KDE Discover has me considering going back to plain Kinoite on my HTPC. I figure I can build a sysext with the handful of bazzite bits I actually use and keep the unbutchered plasma experience

I am interested in Bazzite, but am unsure about its compatibility with NVIDIA GPUs. Had anyone here had experience with this?

20XX onwards in desktop version is fine. I've only heard issues when using gaming mode on the HTPC version, and even then i think it's just inside the gamescope steam menu it's shit, in games it's just fine, no difference.

I use a Fedora variant called Nobara with my 4080. Driver management has been great.

Works fine with the nvidia open drivers, what gpu you got

Bazzite has a build for the older proprietary nvidia drivers, I'm pretty sure 1080s dont get the open source variant of the driver unfortunately 😔

https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this is the download for the proprietary nvidia kde iso

https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this one is for gnome

I don't know how well the proprietary driver runs, I assume if you got it running on another linux distro this will work fine

I run bazzite on an old laptop with a 1050, runs flawless.

I have it on my HTPC and Steam Deck. It's good! Simple to use, simple to set up, no complaints.

Been using it on my desktop since a bit before F40 came out I think. Big fan!

I actually game very little, the performance optimizations are pretty noticeable on bazzite just for general use so its my daily driver
