Bazzite

I just watched this official video from Framework that does a deep dive into their new desktop and the chip that powers it. Right near the end, CEO Nirav Patel name drops Bazzite as a distro partner, and declares 2025 the year of the Linux gaming desktop!

I have VLC installed as flatpak, but I cant launch it from command line. Where does it live?

I have a ddsktop with Windows and Fedora and few other Linux distros already installed. I have a spare partition for the OS itself but have to share /home with the Fedora install.

How do I do this safely without formatting /home?

Damn it feels good to be a immutable gaming OS gangsta

Really liking this OS and how easy it is to download, install and run. Works out of the box with everything.

Many of my friends are stuck with Win10 and will probably be forced to upgrade by Microsoft soon. I will try to recommend them Bazzite as a better path.

Switched my desktop last weekend from Ubuntu to Bazzite on my Nvidia 1070. It's been a great week, everything runs so much faster and smoother!

I was able to bump my main game Predecesor from all Low to all Medium settings while still keeping 60fps.

Discord runs faster, Spotify feels snappier. All in all I'm really digging it.

That's all, just wanted to say I'm enjoying it and it's working well for me.

Good to see Bazzite specific fixes

Hi! I'm running deepseek-r1 in ollama via podman, but currently it all runs on cpu. From the podman docs I get that I should install the nvidia container toolkit to get this working on my gpu, however I'm not sure how to approach this. The docs talk about apt or dnf etc, byt as far as I know that doesnt apply to bazzite. Anyone have some experience with this?

Will this work if I install the container toolkit in a busybox, or should i then just install everything including docker/podman in busybox? Any insights are greatly appreciated!

Someone have experience with this?

Hi. I want to install Harmonoid on my machine. Has anyone managed to install this on Bazzite? And if so, how? According to the website, "You also need mpv & libmpv-dev installed". I'm curious about that, as I have no idea how to go about this.

Small community here I know but maybe someone has experienced this.

I recently jumped back into Linux desktop gaming and built a new machine and while most things work pretty well out of the box, I noticed that the wifi constantly drops out when under constant use, like downloading a game from steam. I'm thinking that it's a driver issue (Realtek RTL8922AE chipset) since none of the other machines are experiencing anything like this.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Just posting this because I was looking for a walkthrough of Bazzite's setup with an APU machine.

I currently use Chimera on a mini-ITX build plugged into my TV, but I see Bazzite often brought up nowadays. Hell, it looks like the EmuDeck group are gonna sell a box with it pre-installed. I usually think of it as a replacement ROG Ally OS but it looks to have widened its scope.

Is it worth looking into more or is it not worth it? Does it do anything better than Chimera that warrents a move?
