tl;dw their performance numbers don't match up to what we've seen in the past. Some pretty significant decreases in performance over Windows. I think there's clearly some sort of configuration error there. They also ran into the old dual-boot problem where Windows overwrites the Linux partition.

In my opinion this is lazy and irresponsible reporting. I don't at all mean to discount his experience, they are legitimate concerns, and it's fine to show the struggles of using Linux, but it's very clear he (admittedly) doesn't know what he's doing, and they need to consult an expert (or even a casual user) to figure out what the problem is before reporting. He said in the last video that Bazzite reached out to him to let them know if he has any problems so they could help but he obviously did not do that. As is, it just makes Linux/Bazzite look bad.

I hope he follows up with another video discussing the solutions.

What do you think?

Discord also works poorer in Linux

Certainly not Linux' fault if developers write shitty Electron apps and then put a bunch of OS-specific stuff in it.

Also, try Vesktop? I like that I can customize my experience a little more with the plugins.

Snap

All my homies hate Snap.

I didn't say it was any fault of Linux that Discord doesn't work as well. Just that it's a fact that it doesn't work as well, regardless of the reason. It has issues in Windows, too.

I'd never heard of Vesktop. I read up on it a bit and I might swap over to it today if I have some time to work on it.

I was trying out different installation types and Discord was my only foray into Snap. Probably not using it again. haha
