I don’t have much experience with Linux, but I do have some. I’m thinking of leaving Windows as I’m trying to focus more on privacy and less AI.

I tried a Bazzite bootable install, and everything seemed to work great except for one thing- the RGB on my XPG ram sticks. OpenRGB controlled everything except those sticks as they went undetectable by the software. I tried the latest experimental OpenRGB build with no improvements.

That seems to be the only incompatible bit. While annoying it’s not a deal breaker. How do you feel about using bazzite on a higher end desktop for gaming and as a daily driver? I don’t play any games that use kernel anticheat.

UPDATE: Installed it this morning. Went with the Gnome version. Really enjoying it so far! Still getting everything situated, but I’m a happy camper. Thanks for the help, everyone :)

    I tried switching to Bazzite once. When I installed it, it made my three hard drives into one partition and their support was a Discord server so no thank you.

      User error because how the fk do you do that, I have two drives one is partitioned in half, have bazzite on one no issue it didnt do sht to anything. Like any linux install it gives you a edi boot parititon and installs bazziteon the btrfs partition, one drive if you choose to wipe one drive and install there. All of my drives work fine, were uneffected and I also dualboot windows for iracing and wrc.

        I’m so terribly sorry that I’m not confident in Linux. I hope you can forgive me one last time, oh great software master.

        I also beg for forgiveness that I prefer an old-school forum or something similar over a Discord server when I need to ask for help.

        Great damage was done to the Linux and especially Bazzite community by my actions and I deserve to be spit on and kicked into the dirt.

          You didn’t damage any community, I’m just wondering how the fk you commit such a massive f up, I’m suprised you havent had issues with windows considering you messed up 3 drives trying to install linux

        It’s easier to install windows 11 second maybe? I just reinstalled windows on my 2nd drives 2nd partition a week ago. But I also og dualbooted windows first before uninstalling windows a year ago, only got it back for the two ganes I mentioned. It’s super straightforward explained in plain language with pictures. It’s genuinely easier to install any Linux distro than it is windows, windows doesn’t even come with wifi drivers and installing them manually doesnt work, I have to go ethernet cable every time.
