Absolutely, what’s the chance of Java Edition requiring the latest updates to VRR / HDR / Mesa / etc. ?

Removed by mod

Steam OS was Debian based in the Steam Machine era, Steam Deck uses an immutable Arch based image, and it’s not rolling release. They moved to Arch because Debian took ages to update. Now they release quick and stable updates, That’s the ideal compromise.

Regular Arch is bleeding edge, Debian is old. Fedora sits in the middle. And Bazzite makes it rock solid.

About the Bloat: after installing, you are greeting by a first run wizard, where you choose what gets installed. If you don’t install anything else, you are left with KDE & Steam, nothing more. Where’s the boat?

Two options: java edition, or mobile bedrock. Both have launchers available.

Currently there is no voice or video support in any Spacebar instance. This is a very difficult feature to get working, especially given that we must implement it the exact same way as Discord.com for client compatibility. We would be incredibly thankful for any assistance.

Damn.

For gaming you want the latest updates. Of all the major distros, only Arch, Suse and Fedora provide that. Arch requires you to learn to about and fix breakage. Fedora has a gaming spin which works like a Steam Deck: Bazzite.

I’ve distro hopped between 10+ distros, and Bazzite has been the only one that gave me a rock solid stability and latest drivers simultaneously. It’s not purely immutable, Fedora calls it Atomic.

I suggest you try it, and tell me if there was anything you couldn’t do.

Also: I don’t support Canonical’s walled garden

And they are not hiding it !

They just mean you now really have to pay to get private data. 🤣

I asked about the same in the past. There’s a lot of hate from people who dislike the DE or the attitude of some core contributors.

Bazzite is pretty barebones, you add stuff using the first-run utility.

I just want an easy way to use WeMod. There’s this but it’s usage is very complicated.

Which software ?

I play Overwatch since OW1’s launch. It’s competitive/ranked play mode is incomparable to say… CounterStrike 2’s level of polish for example. That said, it’s crazy fun in Quick Play (unranked), and if you are looking for a hero shooter where the whole hero is entirely different from others, then it’s the best free to play hero shooter since all microtransactions available are only cosmetics. No pay to win mechanic available whatsoever.

The bad press is because between OW1 and OW2 they completly trashed the competitive scene, while also overpromising and not delivering at all, a PVE campaign mode. After that, they moved to a semi-pay-to-win model where there where timed exclusive heroes behind a battle pass, after that you could unlock them by grinding, but that model has evolved into a cosmetic-only model. So, no more semi-pay-to-win, only cosmetics.

So, right now, OW2 is closer to OW1’s greatness than it has ever been since they trashed it. Not there yet in terms of balance, polish, competitive mode, but it has grown in the amount of modes, heros and maps.

For me, for what I value, OW2 is the best hero shooter. We’ll see when I get a hold of Marvel Rivals.

Bazzite is crazy good. There’s absolutely no way they will top it if they keep focusing on the bullshit they are stuffing into Playtron.

I bet their whole business model is sucking the blood out of their investor fully conscious that the final OS will fail. I mean, there is no way they will find any degree of success in units sold and actual revenue.

The entire Ublue project is freaking amazing. But Bazzite finished off my distrohopping. I work by day and game by night. Bazzite has eliminated all maintenance tasks for me. It just works. It makes things so damn easy. Also, the Ublue CI/CD builds is crazy cool. It allows them to focus on the important stuff, while all the chores are done automatically. Truly amazing stuff. I also heard lots of praise about the dev oriented spin: Bluefin.

How do they improve on security and privacy ?

Yeah, but my point is that every OS has system folders. And Linux gives you more freedom.

This image shows how the system stores it’s own stuff. Your junk will go in /home/mtchristo/whatever you want.

If you don’t like that, you can do whatever you want. Linux will let you.

Think of it like in Windows where you have this structure.

This. I’ve tried around 10 distros. Bazzite is exacly that.
