I don't have much experience with Linux, but I do have some. I'm thinking of leaving Windows as I'm trying to focus more on privacy and less AI.

I tried a Bazzite bootable install, and everything seemed to work great except for one thing- the RGB on my XPG ram sticks. OpenRGB controlled everything except those sticks as they went undetectable by the software. I tried the latest experimental OpenRGB build with no improvements.

That seems to be the only incompatible bit. While annoying it's not a deal breaker. How do you feel about using bazzite on a higher end desktop for gaming and as a daily driver? I don't play any games that use kernel anticheat.

UPDATE: Installed it this morning. Went with the Gnome version. Really enjoying it so far! Still getting everything situated, but I'm a happy camper. Thanks for the help, everyone :)

I just switched from windows. The things I am struggling with are mostly related to game streaming and desktop streaming. using an intel 10 series and 3080.

  1. Moonlight+Sunlight are mostly fine for game streaming, although there are hiccups once in a while. They technically also suport desktop streaming, but the features for that are not nearly complete compared to any other RDP/VNC app in the last 20 years. For example, clipboard sharing and keyboard shortcut documentation are terrible.

  2. sleep/wake is basically broken with nvidia drivers. when the PC wakes from sleep the graphics driver does not realize it, so moonlight thinks there is no display connected. The workaround is full power off and power on instead of sleep/wake, but that is not 100% reliable either. Not to mention old fashioned.
