better than Garuda? Bazzite is based on Fedora. I used fedora, and hated it. Basically no selection between packages, it only has a very few amount
Does Garuda still use latte dock? I recall that project being dead.
since when it is dead... It is still an active project with thousands of users, the forum is also active. what is latte dock btw?
I meant latte dock is dead. It's a Mac OS-like dock.
why would i need that
You wouldn't? It shipped with The KDE-Dragonized version or whatever it's called. I assumed you used that version because it's the most popular version. I was asking if the Garuda devs still ship latte dock with the KDE edition.
i looked up, and no, they no longer use it. It is a rolling release, so it evolves fast
Chipping in, I have no idea what Garuda is, but I also hated working with Fedora, probably because I started off on Debian-based systems and couldn't wrap my head around Fedora.
Bazzite, being an immutable distro, is intended where you shouldn't need to use the Fedora package manager, so you instead install applications sandboxed like AppImages, flatpaks, etc. I've been fine with this for my gaming PC, but currently I still use and prefer Debian (LMDE) for my study laptop because I have easier control over it.
Overall it comes down to what you want out of your computer and what works best for you, that's the beauty with Linux, but I thought I'd chip in and mention not to write off Bazzite for being Fedora based, as someone who couldn't get behind Fedora.
Garuda is an Arch-based, gaming-focused distro which tries to simplify Arch to a beginner's level
Just use distrobox with Ubuntu or Debian for your tools and such. It tightly integrates with your OS and doesn't sacrifice the immutability
I might consider that actually, I was trying to use secureblue instead of LMDE for the better security, and this was part of why I gave up on it. Cheers!
It's awesome. The packages don't matter because you use distro box if there's not a flatpak that works already. I have an Ubuntu distro box for tools for things that don't work on fedora.
It uses ublueos for an immutable which is rock solid. Idk how to explain it well, but it's the only distro I want anymore.
If u do end up trying it and find a package that doesn't work, ping me and I'll get you a command you can run to do it
immutable? does it have an immutable file system? that's a perfect way to fill up and corrupt any storage
The root filesystem is immutable, not the entire filesystem. So when you do upgrades and things it's super easy to roll back and you never need to rebuild your entire OS if a package is messed up or something.
Tbh I'm not great at explaining it, I'd just look up a YouTube video for it.

Bazzite uses silverblue with other gaming related features
I just use snapback on btrfs with endeavourOS 🤔 works just as well, I recon, or what is the difference?
I believe bazzite is on btrfs by default. I just like the concept of a read only root filesystem. It helps make everything more stable so far for me personally
I just do not delete system files 🌚 jk
Yeah, until that one time when you tell apt to force install a package and it fucks your entire system...
😯why would I force it?
BTW, I do not like APT very much
I've installed .deb files before that fail or miss dependencies, then you get stuck in a half applied state and have to force fix your apt packages.
I'm not saying I'm doing it right, but its happened before more than a few times to me, but not on bazzite
Ah, yea, that is one of the reasons I don’t like APT… 😂
Yup, but now I get to use whatever distro I want with distrobox. It's awesome
😁 I still never had an app that I wanted requiring it, but I’m very happy having it as quick temporary solution if I ever stumble over an app that does not run on Arch yet (In such cases I would try to fix the AUR package 😇)
I meant for bazzite. You can use an arch distrobox and it'll be like you had arch installed already
Just had an example of this working for me. Parsec only publishes a .deb file, and the flatpak is out of date / unmaintained. They don't have Nvidia decoding anywhere but Ubuntu. But with distrobox / boxbuddy I can get a fully-featured parsec install that runs on a distrobox. Works perfectly, and even has an application in my host application menu. It's bad ass
😁i can do just “yay parsec” and install it
Ofc, but then you now have a dependency on a specific version of ffmpeg for your root OS
is it better than Garuda's zstd backups?
I've never used Garuda so I can't comment on that. It just behaves like the steam deck but uses fedora
