i just installed bazzite on an A6-6400k system and it works really well. i first installed Fedora, but an amount was missing to get my 1030 running for media decoding. Yeah this system should be sent to the grave, but it's working and doing what i need.

I also run this on my daily laptop and works very nice.

Thinking of making the switch away from Windows and I've been looking at Bazzite as an alternative since I game fairly frequently.

Does anyone know if there is a way I can play my game pass games if I switched?

Gaming is a powerful force.

Unfortunately, Bazzite has been crapping out for me when entering and exiting sleep, so I may have to give it up. Which sucks, because there's a fair bit of customization and another shortcoming is no easy portability outside of rebasing.

Not sure if this will work for you, I had a problem with waking from sleep first few days, found a forum post that worked for me:

Set a color profile in the display settings - doesn't matter which one, it just wanted one selected. Been solid-as a rock since.

My annoyance has been RAM - Bazzite is configured to use zram for swap, meaning it compresses part of your RAM to save space. That's great since it's a lot faster than swap to disk, but I've been running out of memory with Kerbal Space Program and my many mods. I've got 16 GB of memory installed, but without a swap partition/file it just kills the game when it uses too much.

I am ordering a larger stick, but I would personally prefer a slowdown (from getting stuff from disk) to a crash.

Yep, related root causes.

You can set Bazzite to use a swap file instead and turn on traditional hibernate, there's a tutorial in their documentation. It did not work for me, and it sure didn't fix my dedicated GPU refusing to wake up from sleep, but you could give it a try.

But in general Bazzite wants to do power management like it's on a handheld with an APU and limited performance, and it has been a bit of a mess to try to use it on a desktop. I really don't want to go distro hopping again, but it honestly may be required. Despite all the hype this stuff isn't Windows yet.

Bazzite is an awesome OS, so I’m glad to see people switching to it. I run it on my living room PC. It’s great for TVs.

bazzite runs well enough on most of my machines but there are a couple that really struggle with it.

looking for alternatives that will handle amd cpu and Nvidia gpu because that fell in my lap

[-] troed@fedia.io 4 points 6 hours ago
