Is there an overview of what differentiates all those Fedora Atomic derivates?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's mostly about what software is preconfigured. I've run Bazzite for a while and it's been great. Bluefin has been nice too but admittedly it's a pretty run-of-the-mill OS.

Bazzite community really deserves tbe credit. Lots of work and great vibes all around!
I am interested in Bazzite, but am unsure about its compatibility with NVIDIA GPUs. Had anyone here had experience with this?
Works fine with the nvidia open drivers, what gpu you got
Geforce GTX 1080
I'm rolling a 1080 on Bazzite and it's worked great for me, as well as NVIDIA does on Linux generally. Which is to say, much better than it was 2+ years ago but still could do with some improvements.
That's promising to hear! For the drivers are you using Open GPU?
I still have to look into the 1080s compatibility with this. Thanks OP for mentioning it.
Like the other poster said, the open drivers aren't for the 10-series and earlier. It's because the microcode that NVIDIA wants to keep proprietary is within the GPU on later series, rather than the driver.

Bazzite has a build for the older proprietary nvidia drivers, I'm pretty sure 1080s dont get the open source variant of the driver unfortunately 😔
https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules
https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this is the download for the proprietary nvidia kde iso
https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this one is for gnome
I don't know how well the proprietary driver runs, I assume if you got it running on another linux distro this will work fine
Thanks! I am still very new to Linux and have been learning the OS through OpenSUSE on an old laptop. Still debating which Linux distro to switch to for the windows desktop (the one with the 1080)
Could try dual booting to see how your hardware works
I run bazzite on an old laptop with a 1050, runs flawless.
The open drivers ? You mean the ones without 3d acceleration support ?
🤷♀️ I don't know much about that, cyberpunk runs perfect on my 4070 idk what else you could want

20XX onwards in desktop version is fine. I've only heard issues when using gaming mode on the HTPC version, and even then i think it's just inside the gamescope steam menu it's shit, in games it's just fine, no difference.
I use a Fedora variant called Nobara with my 4080. Driver management has been great.
They make dedicated Nvidia images and I've heard good things. It's supposed to be one of the distros to pick if you want a good out of the box experience with Nvidia. Only used the Amd/Intel image myself though.

Been using it on my desktop since a bit before F40 came out I think. Big fan!

I have it on my HTPC and Steam Deck. It's good! Simple to use, simple to set up, no complaints.
On the HTPC you're running Bazzite? Do you play games on that machine?
I'm planning on setting up a HTPC, but I won't use it for gaming. I was thinking of setting it up to run Sway because I think I'll mostly be using Kodi which has good keyboard support, so why not try to do everything in a keyboard-friendly way.

I actually game very little, the performance optimizations are pretty noticeable on bazzite just for general use so its my daily driver
