Reading through that article I somehow ended up on the bazzite page and then went down a rabithole learning about the system76 scheduler. Just when I thought I'd settled down now I want to switch to bazzite to try out the system76 scheduler.

But I'm not sure what's better for overall performance. Bazzites modifications or glorious eggrolls modifications.

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

Performance wise, I doubt there's notable difference.

I've tried both, and honestly Bazzite OS is on a league of it's own.

Nobara has updates with breaking changes that require manual steps to avoid bricking your installation.

Bazzite on the other hand immutability makes it a freaking indestructible distro, and for a gaming machine, that is a good thing.

Bazzite's CI/CD automated builds helps them release upstream improvements way faster, for example... they are already on Fedora 40.

It also comes ready to go out of the box. The experience is amazing. The only drawback is having to reboot to apply changes to the system. But the many benefits outweight this inconvenience.

Goddammit this all sounds so good. My final and most important question that decides if I switch. What does the neofetch icon look like?

Edit: I just looked myself and its a controller which looks cool but i don't really like controllers. 🤔 hard choice but I think I'll try it out.

If you like the idea of Bazzite, but aren't a gamer, you could go with Bluefin or Aurora depending on your preference.

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I use Bazzite for a mainly work, gaming sporadically machine and honestly, I don't know what changes bluefin might have that I'm missing. Leaner maybe? Even for a gaming centric distro, the looks are very good.

[-] themadcodger@kbin.earth 4 points 7 months ago

If bazzite works for you, then good enough! Bazzite just comes with a lot more support for periphials that some might not need/want (e.g. vr headsets). So yeah, leaner. Or for that one poster, a neofetch icon that's not a gamepad?

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I haven't bothered with it, but Neofetch allows you to easily change the neofetch logo. neofetch --ascii_distro

Agreed. I was enthusiastic about Nobara all the way up until I had to do a version upgrade. If I had to start from scratch now, I'd go with Bazzite.

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

The Bazzite installation is so streamlined, it would take you an hour to install and set it up to the point where you are now. Unless you did something extremely out of the ordinary.

[-] aleph@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

The installation is the easy part; first I have to back up all my configs. It's the media machine in the living room, though, so it's not super urgent.

[-] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago

When I installed Kinoite to start using Linux as my primary daily driver, the first thing I did was setting up Ansible, creating a new playbook and all Linux configurations I made from that point on, are only ever done through that playbook, which is backed up in my Forgejo instance. One command and everything is being set up exactly the way I want. It feels extremely liberating.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 5 points 7 months ago

Yes thats difficult for sure. I would trust bazzite more, as the distribution model is way more stable.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

Yes I think their scheduler is nice? I mean you can just layer and enable it on any variant. Checkout ublues files.

Link gives me a 404

A friend switched to Linux yesterday on a new build and grabbed the kde spin of fedora at my recommendation. Fedora 40 dropped x11 on kde so there's been a good bit more hassle getting things working than there should have been. Hopefully developers move fast on support.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 5 points 7 months ago

What do you mean? Just use Wayland?

[-] offspec@lemmy.nicknakin.com 2 points 7 months ago

Discord screen share isn't working, I think screen recording wasn't working, she had some issues getting steam to not crash. We both use input leap at work so waiting until 6.1 for that support to hit. Just a bit annoying to get rug pulled. We both use fedora 38 on our work machines so there was an expectation that things would work the same, I think it's overall a good change in the long run, but in the moment it's very disruptive.

[-] socialpankakemix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago

try vencord/vesktop it allows you to stream over discord on Wayland, plus a bunch of other stuff.

[-] offspec@lemmy.nicknakin.com 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I directed her to vesktop but lately the video streams on vesktop have been really choppy. I use it on arch to mixed results.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I think the end of the story is: fuck Discord.

Damn Signal Desktop has perfect screensharing on Wayland.

[-] Mogster@beehaw.org 3 points 7 months ago

You probably know this already, but X11 hasn't been dropped completely. You can still install what you need from the distros, and then the X11 option will be present and correct in SDDM.

sudo dnf install kwin-x11 plasma-workspace-x11

[-] offspec@lemmy.nicknakin.com 1 points 7 months ago

Actually, I didn't know that and figured it out yesterday. Thanks for the tip!

[-] eveninghere@beehaw.org 3 points 7 months ago

Well, I'm such an old ass for preferring X11 still, but fuck NVIDIA anyway.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 months ago

NVIDIA and Wayland are supposedly fixed in recent releases with explicit sync

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
