I have it on my SteamDeck right now. It's my first immutable distro besides SteamOS so I'm not even sure which differences are "steam deck" and which are "bazzite". One of these days I'll try it on my gaming machine. I barely play MS Flight Sim anymore and don't see myself buying 2024. X-Plane can probably scratch that itch now and I don't play online with anti-cheat so I'll be able to kill windows. Bazzite will probably be perfect for it because of that immutability. I spend way more time with my laptop, the gaming machine is expected to just work right when I turn it on.

I have. I have it on a laptop and will probably put it on my desktop (waffling between Bazzite and Arch). It's great, and it's one of the easiest setups I've had to get going with gaming. I recommend joining their Discord, too.

The only thing that is currently a problem, that may be a non-issue when bootc has a full release, is installing certain VPN clients. If it exists as a flatpak, RPM, or in fedora repos, should be fine. If it installs by copying various files around and making system changes on demand at runtime (like Private Internet Access), doesn't currently work.

I tried it, immutable is not for me on the desktop, went back to arch. Bazzite had HDR working on the desktop with my nvidia card, ended up doing the same in arch after finding out it there was a flag I needed to set, personally haven't had an issue with that set.

If you're good with immutable though, it seemed decent enough to me, was little to no fussing to get things going. I don't really distrohop though, historically I use debian on my machines but arch has been a solid experience in the past month.
