How does Bazzite differ from Kinoite? I use the latter but have been hearing about the former for a while now, and was curious what exactly sets it apart from what I use and what benefits I'd have switching to it.
Gaming.
if you game on Linux you wanna go with bazzite, games "just work" on there without any tweaking or fixing or patching. And in the rare case you do need to patch a game like gmod, they have a built in script for it like
ujust fix-gmodIf I have my setup working on Nobara now, would it still be worth the effort to switch (again)? I imagine I could basically keep my home directory as-is, including pipewire setup, game configs etc.?
No, if it's working for you, why bother? Unless you're the adventurous distro hopper, stick to what's working for you. I'd only take the time to switch my home to bazzite if Nobara started causing problems.
"Gaming" i.e. Windows emulation for GPU heavy stuff.
It is not gaming, it is running Windows software on Linux.
what?
I find it odd to call it "gaming on Linux" as its simply running Windows software
There's no emulation. Worst case scenario, the game is using Microsoft's proprietary DirectX graphics API, so we translate those calls to Vulkan or OpenGL with DXVK. That's simply out of our control since we cannot see or modify the code, but everything else is running on Linux.
Intel actually uses DXVK on Windows for better compatibility and performance for their Arc GPU's.
Funny, thanks for the info.
By default it uses KDE instead of GNOME, you have the choice though. It makes some stuff easier for new users. Bazzite is also optimized for gaming and in some areas tries to mimic the Steam Deck experience pretty closely. It also includes all the Universal Blue goodness like ujust (basically a collection of scripts that is very helpful for quickly installing and setting up various things on your system). It also includes some quality-of-life improvements in the Terminal. You could compare it to Nobara, but built on top of Fedora Atomic (Kinoite). Check out their website for more information: https://bazzite.gg/
Bazzite is based on Kinoite but adds A TON of rpms to the base.
Rather than using WINE through Flatpak (Bottles, Lutris, Cartridges + ProtonUpQt) it is on the system. This has some performance benefits and makes using it way easier, but you now run random Windows software unsandboxed. If it wants to it can do whatever it wants.
And some more.
