This handles use cases Distrobox can't, they both have a place.

The Steam client is 32-bit, the majority of games on Steam are 32-bit, and very popular titles like Left 4 Dead 2 are 32-bit.

The last time a distro tried to do this Ubuntu caved and continued supporting it with an extra repo. Fedora has no chance of winning that argument.

The good news is the incident you're talking about was a change proposal proposed by a single person and never even voted on. It did not survive the comment stage.

We don't consider ourselves a distribution and linux is mentioned all over the rest of the page.

It said Linux before but apparently that wasn't clear that it's an operating system, less is more sometimes.

Awesome, I'll probably workshop it a touch but I appreciate the input.

How about "the operating system for the next generation of gamers" replacing the first line?
Re:Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming on Sunday November 30, 2025 @02:44AM (#46094677)
"The next generation of Linux gaming - Bazzite makes gaming and everyday use smoother and simpler across desktop PCs, handhelds, tablets, and home theater PCs."

Are we reading the same website?

Re:Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming on Sunday November 30, 2025 @12:49AM (#46094204)
No that appears to be directly in line with what I said. What's missing here is your understanding of a proposal vs an actual change Fedora is going to make.

Right, you cannot control hardware you do not own and have in your possession. A cheat that uses another computer and a camera to watch the screen and emulate a mouse is an effective aimbot that no client side method will ever detect. The future must be server authoritative net code and behavior-based server-side cheat detection.

Steam is not a flatpak on Bazzite.
Re:Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming on Saturday November 29, 2025 @10:00PM (#46093203)
You can use any sched-ext scheduled on Bazzite.
Re:Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming on Saturday November 29, 2025 @09:36PM (#46093069)
You're good -- didn't take it as one.

It's an important question to ask.

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it
Re:Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming on Saturday November 29, 2025 @09:32PM (#46093042)
Yeah I distinctly remember a time in my life where most of my Source Engine games would explode if I alt-tabbed in Windows Vista.
Re:Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming on Saturday November 29, 2025 @09:26PM (#46093001)
No, my statement was Fedora was about to shoot itself in the foot and that it'd be easier for Bazzite to not exist than for us to clean up their mess.

Note that this was in a change proposal which was rescinded without a vote by it's proposer.

Re:Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming on Saturday November 29, 2025 @09:25PM (#46092995)
Yes, it'll happen eventually. I can't promise it'll be a good gaming experience anytime soon though.

Fork and remove this line: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/blob/main/Containerfile#...

Note that we remove rpm Firefox for security reasons. You do not want your browser to only update with your entire operating system.

Re:Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming on Saturday November 29, 2025 @08:43PM (#46092753)
No kernel modules needed for eGPU, kargs are handled with one command, rpm-ostree kargs --help

Agree 100%, client side anti cheat was never going to work.

Hi, I'm the founder.

While what you're saying isn't impossible, it's unlikely. In the event it did happen, Bazzite is a fork, a signing key, and a couple forked Fedora Copr repos away from being made completely in someone else's control.

We're working on porting unl0kr from postmarketOS to Fedora to allow for LUKS on the Steam Deck without an external keyboard, that should also work well for a tablet use case once it's done.
I'm not well versed in NixOS, but the team over at Jovian are all very helpful and are running a great project.
Kodi could for sure be installed on this, we're open to any suggestions that make that task easier for you as well.
This should be working on AMD, Nvidia, and Intel. At most you may need to make minor configuration changes which we document in our wiki.
> But I suppose there won't be optimizations for any combinations of GPU/CPU/RAM like Valve and AMD do for the Steamdeck ?

Every single one of these should be present, along with our own tweaks and changes made upstream at Fedora.

It's a file system feature, all it means to be case folding is that capital and non-capital letters are treated the same, as NTFS does.

All Linux filesystems will by default allow "TEST" and "test" and "Test" to exist in the same folder, which no Windows application is ever intended to handle. Wine works around this by default.

The only flatpaks here are ones installed by the user after setup, or ones installed by Fedora (Firefox for instance, you don't want your browser updating only when your OS does).

Steam, gamescope, and nearly every other listed feature are native packages.
