And honestly it's never been a better time to make the jump to Linux gaming.

Running bazzite myself.

It's incredible how well steams compatibility software (Proton) works nowadays; 99% of games I've tried, even when explicitly listed as 'windows only' work great once you force-enable compatibility.

I'm at the point where I just assume that a game will work.

The only "problem" games are the kernel anti-cheat games that I don't play because I don't want kernel anti-cheat.

Yeah; no video games should ever have unrestricted access to the entire system. ESPECIALLY anything with multiplayer.

Any developer that applies a rootkit (kernal anti-cheat) to their games should be shunned out of existence.

Nice. I'm on Nobara for about a year and a half now. Love it. The community is amazingly helpful.

How does Bazzite compare to Nobara?

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Don't know. I only run Ubuntu and bazzite at home.

[–] Kory@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Both are based on Fedora but the main difference is that Bazzite is immutable, while Nobara is not. What you prefer, is highly subjective.

If your question is aimed at performance, I have no hard data on that and it will depend on your hardware of course, but they are probably quite similar, since the base is the same.
