Which distro ? I've been rocking Bazzite for a year, and holy mother of christ, it requires less maintenance than my smartphone.

I've been rocking endeavourOS.
It's really nice, but I hear great things about bazzite. I'm going to have to take bazzite & steamOS for a spin

I installed EOS and I'm liking it.

If you like endeavourOS, CachyOS is really good too. It's also Arch based and includes a really fast custom kernel. It also has lots of gaming enhancements whatever that means. I've been trying to spread the word, not a lot of people seem to know about it. I hear Bazzite is pretty good as well. I definitely need to try it out.

Bazzite for the win!

Ive been looking at Bazzite, but Ive tried to make the jump to linux for a while but always run into dumb issues and go back to windows.

Is it 'it just works' or is it actually dad gamer easy?

[–] Leax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

If you plan using Steam, gaming will be super easy. There's also a good store to install new programs. Everything worked out of the box.

If you know how to flash an iso to a thumb drive and press F2 at the bios prompt to boot into the installer, everything else will be easier than that. It just works.

[–] mycelium_underground@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Not always F2 depending on the computer, F10 F12 and Esc are pretty common as well.

That's actually what I went with too. I considered Mint and Pop!OS but really my PC is a gaming machine with a nvidia card. A friend recommended bazzite and its exactly what I was looking for.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Is it me or is it really something truly extraordinary? In the sense that it requires zero maintenance, it just works.

I've been using Bazzite too. It's kind of so stable it's boring.
