Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven’t looked back.

    What else do you need?

    You install, log into steam and play games. The age of modpatching custom kernels for low latency or hardware hacks is gone. The kernel already das what it takes to outperform windows on gaming. It’s all on the user space now to bring convenience and ease of use.

    The package distribution model was never popular with users. It was perfect for sys admins. But people don’t want to manage a system, they want to use their device. Image based containerized OS and software distribution makes more sense for end users who have no interest on troubleshooting a pacbage dependency conflict.

      Ohh okay, when people pushed it as distro for gaming my mind did think about custom kernel optimised for gaming. I was really hoping it was something like that but yeah you are right I have seen and heard about diferent distros running some games better on Linux so the kernel is already there. Anyway the good news from all this is people who used windows primarily for gaming is now shifting to Linux whatever the flavour it may be.
