Me after installing Bazzite (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Bazzite has a very simple process for installing software that isn't on Flatpak: You spin up a virtual machine running a better distro and install it there

What are you running Bazzite on? I'm using it on my Legion Go as my daily driver. I love it for the most part, but there's still plenty to learn.

Not OP, but I've got Bazzite on my Steam Deck and Bluefin on my laptop as my daily. I'm rather loving the set it and forget it nature of it while still having plenty of room to play when I need to.

I use bazzite on my desktop.

The problem with the set it and forget it nature is that when updates stop working, it "forgets" to tell you.

If you layer any packages, you will run into this, but even without package layering, there have been a number of bugs reported recently about this.

I have auto updates and notifications on (and I switched them off and on again and verified the settings) and haven't gotten a single update notification for months even though I can update manually successfully.

My problem is that I use my Legion Go primarily as a computer for managing servers, coding, web dev, photo and video editing, and then gaming when I get a moment.

Examples of my incredibly nitpicky problems are like wanting to boot into desktop mode, wanting a password prompt on boot/return from sleep, better vram control in desktop mode. Silly things like that.

I think Bazzite has a version that doesn't start in game mode πŸ€” Or use one of the sister versions if you don't game often? Password on boot happens on both of mine, and coming back from sleep should be an option.
