Glad to see the use of "temporary" code started early.

I really started to dislike Windows and projects like Bazzite made it incredibly easy to make the jump. The wife is now gaming in Linux for the same reasons.

Great suggestions. The Ventoy bros are weird. Just use what works for you.

Checking this out now! So far I like it. Only think I lose from using Gboard is the access to gifs, but I can work around that.

Ouch, didn't realize the Nvidia build was struggling. Hopefully it gets patched up soon.

If there's a previous commit before the issue is introduced you can pin it and wait to unpin until the issue gets resolved.

Fedora (including Silverblue/Kionite) is hard to recommend as a first distro though. It's an excellent platform when you know your end goal and how to get there, while providing "leading-edge" packages that's great for gaming.

But a project like Bazzite? Phenomenal new user experience for gaming and a very easy recommend.

Yup! Forgot to circle back to this post, but confirmed updated to 6.9.4 and games are no longer crashing.

This will be me using YouTube in 2025.

That's the one. Waiting for the patch to make it's way downstream.

Hopped around for a while and enjoyed Fedora the most. I'm now on Bazzite and love it.

+1 for Bazzite. I stopped hopping around when I tried it with Fedora 38, been using it since.

I've had one problem related to kernel 6.9.x affecting Steam game stability on my old hardware ( i5 2500k). Newer systems have BIOS settings that mitigate the issue. It's not a Bazzite specific problem. However, I was able to roll back and pin a previous image that uses kernel 6.8.x. Will unpin and update once I see a fix deployed.

This is just a heads up for anyone running Bazzite Desktop and using gamemoderun %command% to launch games. Took a bit to figure out why my games were no longer launching. 😅

It's inclusion was an oversight that affected only desktop images. Feral gamemode is completely replaced by the existence of System76 scheduler and joystickawake, both of which require no manual setup on the part of the end user.

You can simply remove that from your launch options.
