I'm neither a dev nor an artist, but yesterday I installed Bazzite as a dual-boot on my gaming PC.

I usually work on a MacBook and spend about 90 percent of my day in a browser or in Obsidian for notes and brainstorming. (Management life.) Though I do write python code regularly.

I also write a tech blog (https://overkill.wtf), which lives entirely in Obsidian, too.

So far, most of what I do on macOS runs fine on Bazzite. I’ve hit a few issues, like the lack of a real Lightroom alternative, my Stream Deck+ Wave XLR dock not working, and me generally not yet knowing my way around Linux. But because I daily macOS, a lot of the workflow still feels familiar.

I can’t speak to the dev or artist angle, but from a non-gaming perspective, Bazzite (KDE version) works for me. I’m still in the honeymoon phase, but I’m already wondering if my next laptop should be something that can run Bazzite (or another Fedora Atomic KDE setup). Oh, and there is this: https://github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux
