  • Bazzite is just a spin of Fedora…

    People know about it, because a lot of people use it on handhelds like the Rog ally and Steam decks

    Which indie game are you having trouble with though? The only game on my Rog Ally I have trouble with is Goat Simulator 3 (and, I think that might be broken in general now), and I seem to recall canabalt was broken (but may be wrong… There was definitely a second game)

    Even with Nvidia though I wasn’t having issues last I tested, but that was a while ago

    On my rog ally X no man’s sky runs far better on bazzite than windows. On windows, it’s unplayable

    It’s quite easy. Just don’t buy NVIDIA…Consoles aren’t using NVIDIA either and with the tariffs they make even less sense

    My experience with Linux is that a lot of games tend to run better than windows these days

    Not everyone wants to play AAA stuff






  • Except doesn’t this replace their old tool? So, its not really fragmenting anything if its replacing an existing project.

    Fragmentation isn’t great, but it can be beneficial in some cases too. I’ve contributed to a number of projects.

    Over the last 20-30 years, I’ve seen plenty of projects fail, and new ones take over.

    If you take a look at arts/eaudio and the other sound servers of 20 years ago. All failed, because Pulseaudio consolidated and killed them eventually. Now, Pulseaudio is on its way to getting killed by Pipewire. And one could argue its a waste of resources… but, the changeover is actually super awesome (for JACK)

    One other good example of the fragmentation argument was Xfree86. Lots of people argued against Xorg at the time, and ultimately, Xfree86 died ages ago. If you asked me 20 years ago, I would have said KDE was dead, but now Gnome and KDE and carved out VERY different products, that suit very different people. Both are awesome in their own way

    Everyone was freaking out when devFS got deprecated. But, udev was an amazing replacement

    Linux is evolving FAR quicker than Windows or MAC (mac OS has barely changed in a decade). And, many ideas introduced in linux are stolen by Windows and Apple.

    At the end of the day though, sometimes a rewrite is needed of things. What really matters is that it doesn’t fragment the desktop experience (and, it won’t in this case)


  • Rather than downvoting. This is a good teachable moment

    I used to think this way, that it was about efficiency exclusively

    But the reality is, any contribution is better than none, and a lot of these things implemented you don’t really understand how important they are until a while later often

    One consideration also is that Germany is apparently considering to continue their Linux migration, so things like this may also be based on feedback from admins

    Suse has definitely carved their own niche as a Linux distro and it’s actually sad they’re not more successful because a lot of their tools are pretty cool
