The new offline installer ISOs are now available! No more workarounds to installing Bluefin or Bazzite! Tell a friend that it's now as easy to install these custom images as it is for any other distro!
New proper #bluefin and #bazzite ISOs tonight! Plus we've made a GitHub action and container for anyone with a Fedora based OCI container to make a fresh ISO on the spot.
Well, it finally happened: #Arch broke on my workstation. Not even sure how or why, just was suddenly unable to login. (Yes, I've already attempted keyboard layout, CAPS lock, chroot, passwd, faillock, etc.)
Bazzite started as a SteamOS alternative to the Steam Deck. Cool. Expanding Bazzite to other handhelds? Makes sense. Making it available for general PC usage? Also good.
How about making a Bazzite VM and then streaming that content to a Logitech G Cloud?
Do you wish you could run #Linux on an ASUS ROG or whatever your current #gaming rig is, but not sure where to start? Then check out #Bazzite! It is an #immutable Linux distro based on #Fedora Atomic from the #UBlue group so you can focus more on gaming and less on being a sys admin for your gaming gear!
Bazzite and Bluefin will now show a Message of the Day when you open the terminal! This is to share tips and tricks to get you more familiar with your system, especially if it's your first time using a uBlue or Fedora Atomic image.
Can be toggled off and on with ujust toggle-user-motd
So question is #fedora a problomatic #linux distro to use? I ended up using it mostly because projects like #nobara and #bazzite are based of it and I don't honestly mind how they work but I also know the red hat kinda isn't the greatest in terms of working the whole #foss deal.
As well is there actually any other #gaming focus #distros out there? I am pretty sure there the notable two?
Bazzite is the Fedora-based SteamOS alternative for the Steam Deck, PC, and home theater PC. It started as a clone but has evolved into a broader gaming focused custom image!
Interesting. Updated my #Bazzite system and noticed that it’s now using #Wayland by default in desktop mode, so this will be my “first” time “main”-ing Wayland.
Haven’t done much on it yet but two immediate things I’ve noticed: The scaling looks pretty awful, and noticeably worse than on #X11/#Xorg. I use this PC on my TV and previously on X I’d scale it up and everything from text and icons look just as sharp as they would on 100%. Doesn’t seem to be the case here on Wayland.
The other thing I noticed was remoting into the desktop was no longer possible using #AnyDesk since they don’t support Wayland for that. I’ve heard a little of this issue in the past, not specific to AnyDesk. Not sure if there’s an alternative app similar to AnyDesk that might support remote desktop for Wayland, or if it’s a Wayland limitation entirely at the moment. All in all, pretty excited honestly to test more of this favourite little toy people love/hate so much.
It's still really weird that my #DualShock/#DualSense controllers still don't work with #Bazzite (#Ublue/#Fedora) on #bluetooth. They work fine wired. My bluetooth mouse works fine with it too. Definitely isn't an issue on the controllers' side since they work fine on bluetooth on my #ArchLinux PC out of the box, and also my #SteamDeck. They even work on said PC when it was on #EndeavourOS before I switched to Bazzite. It's the only thing holding me back from recommending or installing Bazzite on more systems.
Messing around with #Bazzite, the #fedora#ublue based container focused OS. #Steam and #Lutris run preconfigured in distrobox arch containers, while I run everything else as Nix packages or Flatpaks at my discretion.
This is probably the most comfortable immutable experience I've had so far (though, Nix packages could make any distro work for me at this point.)
It always defaults to OS Tree 0 upon reboot. That means all the updates likely on OS Tree 1 are not used, because you would need to manually select it on Grub
This is a problem if you are using a wireless Bluetooth keyboard. Why?
Because until your OS loads, your keyboard does not work. You would need a 2nd keyboard, either physically wired or an older USB wireless, to select OS Tree 1
