I asked about the same in the past. There’s a lot of hate from people who dislike the DE or the attitude of some core contributors.

Bazzite is pretty barebones, you add stuff using the first-run utility.

Which software ?

I play Overwatch since OW1’s launch. It’s competitive/ranked play mode is incomparable to say… CounterStrike 2’s level of polish for example. That said, it’s crazy fun in Quick Play (unranked), and if you are looking for a hero shooter where the whole hero is entirely different from others, then it’s the best free to play hero shooter since all microtransactions available are only cosmetics. No pay to win mechanic available whatsoever.

The bad press is because between OW1 and OW2 they completly trashed the competitive scene, while also overpromising and not delivering at all, a PVE campaign mode. After that, they moved to a semi-pay-to-win model where there where timed exclusive heroes behind a battle pass, after that you could unlock them by grinding, but that model has evolved into a cosmetic-only model. So, no more semi-pay-to-win, only cosmetics.

So, right now, OW2 is closer to OW1’s greatness than it has ever been since they trashed it. Not there yet in terms of balance, polish, competitive mode, but it has grown in the amount of modes, heros and maps.

For me, for what I value, OW2 is the best hero shooter. We’ll see when I get a hold of Marvel Rivals.

The entire Ublue project is freaking amazing. But Bazzite finished off my distrohopping. I work by day and game by night. Bazzite has eliminated all maintenance tasks for me. It just works. It makes things so damn easy. Also, the Ublue CI/CD builds is crazy cool. It allows them to focus on the important stuff, while all the chores are done automatically. Truly amazing stuff. I also heard lots of praise about the dev oriented spin: Bluefin.

How do they improve on security and privacy ?

Yeah, but my point is that every OS has system folders. And Linux gives you more freedom.

This image shows how the system stores it’s own stuff. Your junk will go in /home/mtchristo/whatever you want.

If you don’t like that, you can do whatever you want. Linux will let you.

Think of it like in Windows where you have this structure.

This. I’ve tried around 10 distros. Bazzite is exacly that.

Will they upstream those drivers to the kernel?

This. I distrohopped for about 4 years. I am now on Bazzite since 4 months ago and I love that it just works.

I wish it was a docker based server.

Where did you buy it? I want to buy it in the US to avoid the high overprice that they sell ir at in my country.

Steam families freaking rocks, the original library sharing was a pain for my kids. I’m so glad they are doing this. On my next trip to the US I want to buy a deck for my kids but I don’t know how, since it requires a US based account.

Can it do splitscreen natively without requiring things a 5 year old couldn’t do?

Are there any mods for it? How’s performance compared to minecraft?

People will switch to the russian whatsapp. Telegram. Nothing will change.

Quartering ?

What’s the appeal of the product? Why would I want this instead of alternatives? Honest question.
