Just leave a penguin's head in your boss' bed

I love penguins. Can't I just put a broken window in there?
Well, use a whole penguin then

It could be worse. You could be stuck with legacy or embedded windows shudders

Imagine not using Hannah Montana Linux. I literally can't do it. Why would you use anything else when all the other distros are so inferior?
Imagine using Linux when you can use TempleOS.
Holy C is too much, I am not worthy

The user base for other universal-blue distros like Aurora is way smaller so it's actually special. I use Aurora btw.
It's on my Framework 13. π

You are late. They moved on to CachyOS. Give it a few months and it will be a new one again.
I did move on to CachyOS lmao.
but in my defense, it's because the CachyOS people in matrix wouldn't shut up about how good it was.
In which ways is it better? right now I'm defaulting to bazzite for my desktop as I already got a steam deck.
Well I canβt speak for everyone, but I noticed significant gains in a couple of the games I played when switching. Specifically Minecraft and Dune: Awakening. Iβm getting upwards of 100fps in Minecraft with BSL shaders on ultra now, and Iβm playing on a laptop. When I was on Bazzite I was getting less than 60fps with shaders, so I didnβt use them at all.
Depending on the DE you pick, it can be pretty good on the battery life too.
Dammit I really did just recommend CachyOS to someone, although I also like OpenSUSE!

I feel called out, "I use Bazzite btw" is literally a joke I made irl last week.
Some Bazzite users touch grass and talk to people IRL, surprising, I know.
I use Fedora which is Bazzite with different preinstalled bloat
Can easily make your own Bazzite FROM Silverblue.
Can you dual boot it yet with other linuxes? I want to split gaming and productivity.

Thats great!
I actually don't see the benefit of Bazzite, its supposed to be gaming. But I didn't really ran into much problems using Bottles under Fedora either (which feels much less bloated), but maybe i was just lucky. I play mostly indie games from itch.
I also use Bottles with ProtonPlus on NixOS. Bazzite has better integration for crazy stuff too, and a lot is running with full privileges unlike Flatpak.
Just look at their features, they really add a ton. The goal is to become less and less ofc, but Steam will stay proprietary so that will always be a huge change to regular (or atomic) Fedora.

I use Nobara, btw.
Finally some representation.
I don't use Linux yet but when I do change it will be Bazzite btw. (I have an Nvidia graphics card and from the little research I did, Bazzite seems to be a good distro for Linux gaming)

Agreed! Skim my post history. Iβm in the meme.
And itβs because Iβm so happy I have a plug n play version of Linux that I donβt have to troubleshoot. Itβs more stable than W11 on my work computer. I love it so much. I could throw it on my grandmas computer and she would be fine. Iβd recommend it over Mint for new Linux users.
I wouldnβt recommend it for people who love using the command line or run virtual machines.

Guy came into my workplace this week and I was saying I was slowly getting into developing a game engine with SDL. When he heard I was using ubuntu he recommended Bazzite, saying he has no trouble with it and uses his machine mostly for gaming. Is it Debian based or something else? At least it's not that meme distro Arch I guess, might try it
It's Fedora based. If you want to develop on it, it supports containerized workflows. There's a DX version explicitly designed for developers.
I use CachyOS BeeTeeDubs...
I truly believe Nobara to be better suited for gaming than Bazzite. I don't really get the hype. But then again, to each his own distro.

I donβt use Bazzite, but I do recommend it for new Linux users.
Generally I think immutable distros are the best entry-level distros for newcomers. Stops people from accidentally bricking their system.

Haha... No its not, but bazzite users really want it to be. :)
No, that's Garuda.
Also gaming focused, also super easy, not so locked down it won't let you change your login background, also has great Nvidia support. Arch.
