I’ve been distro hopping recently after ditching Windows about a year ago. Spent some time in mint, then fedora, and recently the ‘gaming’ distros. I have to say cachy is very nice and set up to succeed with a gui and nice welcome screen for people that don’t want to get into command line stuff. It’s really snappy and I haven’t had any issues yet. I hate to be one to jump on a bandwagon but if it works, it works. The only games that haven’t worked for me on Linux are the anti cheat ones like Madden. Good luck

Yeah but my bios is dumb and doesn’t have that setting

Down the right road but I think I’ll need to specify what Bluetooth to turn off. Unless baz won’t recognize my USB Bluetooth

Also, check your warranty. I just found some bad ram I bought years ago and thought I was in trouble. Turns out g.skill has a lifetime warranty

No problem! I spent a lot of time over the holidays trying to figure out all our myself. If you have other questions feel free to reach out and I’ll help if I can.

Yeah no problem. I just tried opening arc raiders under my wife’s steam account (which she’s never played) and it opened as if no one has ever played the game. It brought me to the "create embark id’ page.

Edit: now that I’m thinking about it, I also played ‘the last campfire’ which other family members had played and it started me off fresh

Edit 2: I really think the only time saves will be an issue is if it’s a non steam game. Like if you set up emudeck, I’m not sure how those saves work. Or any other non steam game you import to your library.

I like the cosmic look and the idea of the built in tiling manager but in practice I haven’t had a great experience with it. It’s frustrating to customize or find things and had been buggy on my systems

Not yet but everyone has been playing different games so far. I’d imagine each steam acvount would have their own save unless it was a non steam game

You can set steam to boot into big picture mode. I just went through this. Single bazzite user with no password login and auto start steam with multiple profiles for different users in the home. Steam you’ll need to set up family library to share games. Most will work in this mode but some won’t because they are jerks. If you need Windows you can get bazzite to put a link within steam so you don’t even need to set up grub to switch between the different OS’s. I can’t remember what it’s called but if you browse the installed programs you’ll see one that says something along the lines of bazzite tweaks or extras or something. Loads of good things in there

Edit: it’s called bazzite portal setup. Super handy

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.
