Bazzite is the next best thing to SteamOS while we wait on Valve

Getting a SteamOS-like experience on handhelds like the ROG Ally used to mean lots of tweaking. Now it’s like it was always meant to be.

    Sounds like buying a steam deck with extra steps for the person who wrote this article haha

    I do love how bazzite makes other gamefronts easily available on SD, though

      Playing Windows only games from the epic store on a steam deck running Linux is a weird but pretty awesome flex. Emulating Nintendo games on it is the ultimate fuck you to Nintendo.

    I’ve been really happy with Bazzite on my laptop the last few months, although I seldom game these days.

    My wife’s Windows laptop stopped working recently and I haven’t been able to repair it, so she’s been gaming on my laptop in the meantime. So far it’s been able to play everything she’s thrown at it without issue.

    I’m sad that I haven’t been able to fix her laptop, but I’m kinda happy cause it means there’s no longer any Windows machines in the entire house, lol.

    I’m just happy that all the sources are made available by Valve to make this possible. Even though I wish they would upstream them much quicker. But at least it has enabled me to run a normal Linux distribution on my Deck and enhance it as I saw fit.
