Agreed on the nod to HDR and its impact on gaming. It is one of the final reasons I maintain my gaming PC in the living room (an NVIDIA GPU) as a Windows box. I have Bazzite on my Thinkpad z13, making it essentially a 13” Steam Deck. Once Gamescope plays nicely with NVIDIA, I will no longer keep Windows around. Bazzite is that good. Going to toy with Bazzite with GNOME on a separate drive for kicks, but I’m holding out for the more authentic console experience at the moment.
Bazzite and Aurora’s-dx comes with box buddy to make managing distrobox easier instead of using the command line. If you are using distrobox on these systems; distrobox is using podman instead of docker. Atomic systems have stuff under the /var.
Definitely you can change some things on the Steam Deck OS in some paths like /etc, /opt, /nix, a bunch of stuff in /var are persistent across updates.
My one issue with something like looking-glass is the lack of controller pass through. I mostly game with a controller…. So that’s a deal breaker for me. I end up exclusively using sunshine.
Hey Chris What software do you use used of getting rid of bloatwere cause I know you have your own software that you put together and if so is it for sale
@TitusTechTalk that I simply installed the bazzite system for steamdeck and it turned out that the lack of a keyboard should appear and then when we turned it on we wanted to log in the steam account for the games need for speed unbound and then the ea application avoids every now and then we want to log in
Bazzite updates to fedora40 on the same day as long as you are on the `:latest` or `:stable` tag (or a couple of days later) as long as there are no blocking issues.
Can anybody compare winapps vs looking-glass for latency, resource usage and more?🤔 I can't, because my system isn't allowing me to dual boot Linux with Windows11.
Niether looking-glass nor winapps are intended to be used on bare metal. They are meant to be used with virtual installs of windows running on a kernel virtual machine….. not sure what that has to do with duel booting. Also what prevents you from duel booting? It’s way easier to setup duel booting than it is to set up virtual machine with GPU pass through. To answer your question, no matter what, latency will always be higher when using winapps, as it utilizes the Microsoft Remote Desktop protocol, where as looking-glass copies the frame buffer from your GPU in real time. Resource usage would be around the same since they both use a virtual machine. The RDP session itself is might be more demanding than the looking-glass client, but that doesn’t really matter. They are really meant for different use cases. Winapps is intended to integrate windows apps into your Linux desktop environment, it’s not meant for low latency high framerate full screen gaming.
Please do not fk with build in arch container. It is specifically designed to be extremely small, efficient, and run only steam / steamos interface with maximum gaming optimization. It is not for user to fk with so that even if u install 3500 packages of utter crap, containerised steamos should still work without any disturbance. If you want to have an arch container to break i suggest adding a new one.

Thank you chris great content

This is the command Titus was looking for to resize:
btrfs filesystem resize max /

Started using btop after discovering it.... Holy shit its beautiful
Probably distrobox using memory
Oh the irony of that ending speech 😂😂
Welcome to the fedora world
Oh come on, no one doing the "I am atomic" from The Eminence in Shadow ? 😅

The Redhat hater has gone Fedora.

Is bazzite you "ground" system on which all the distros (in VM) are running?
damn gear lever is a game changer!
Just letting you know that we saw it coming
by the way the upower command probably wont work any more remotely. just saying. but im sure you will find new ones.
Question: if Fedora 40 is released, at the same time is the Bazzite updated to Fedora 40?
Bazzite updates to fedora40 on the same day as long as you are on the `:latest` or `:stable` tag (or a couple of days later) as long as there are no blocking issues.
On fedora 40 with bazzite rn.
Does Game pass works with Windows VM?
Yes. Most games I used when I had game pass ran fine. It’s more dependent on the specific game and if it blocks usage inside of a VM or not.

@@cm4nxd got it 👍🏻
steamOS should actually be atomic ngl, would blow desktop use away as a distro.
Mb in the future xp.

I moved to bazzite mainly because I only game on my pc. It's nice that you don't have to install mangohud like other distros.
