Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

    Most people I know primarily use their desktop computers for games. Bazzite also works great for general purpose computing, although it isn’t advertised as such.

      For some things.

      For many things it isn’t. It is usable (I use it) but with a bunch of workarounds for anything embedded development-related since it needs specific vendor software with device access. I have had to use a variety of distrobox + app image solutions that are often a bit worse than a system that installs them as native apps.

        I don’t personally count “embedded development-related” as “general computing” so I think there’s a disconnect there. 😅

      Agreed. Bloody fantastic for general purpose. Seems like a well kept secret. A lot of people assume Bazzite is just Steam in Big-Screen mode.
