Do it... I switched about a year and a half ago, and I can't ever imagine going back. And gaming is amazing on it. I've been using Bazzite for several months now and it has been awesome.
Aw. Bazzite can't do Nvidia GPUs. I'm still rocking an RTX 2070 and likely will be for a good while.
Bummer... Aren't the open source Nvidia drivers half-decent these days? I purposely went with AMD knowing I would be doing Linux gaming on it.
No idea, I was just looking into Bazzite specifically.
Bazzite has a standard build specifically for Nvidia GPUs. It supports back to GTX cards so your RTX 2070 will work. Source: I'm typing to you from my PC running Bazzite with a 3060 TI. The only thing this version doesn't support is the Steam gaming mode desktop environment. Steam the application still runs fine and all the games I play work. You can run KDE or Gnome desktop environments. It's time!
Yeah I just learned that this morning. The Bazzite website still has a piece of text on the site that explicitly says it doesn't support Nvidia stuff, but it looks like that's an artifact that just needs to be removed.
Perhaps I shall look into it.
Do it! Do it! Easy to dual boot and test it out. They have a great discord for any questions that come up.
