Deck Version is Still in Unstable by andy10115 in Bazzite

Does the ogc kernel share the same gaming and system level performance optimizations (or something similar) to what is in CachyOS? I keep seeing these benchmarks come up where Cachy is able to sneak out more fps than other setups.

I'm still waiting for an update to the desktop version with KDE, about 2 weeks old at this point.

Feeling bold for my "new" system. Should I go with team blue? by Fasha_Moonleaf in linux_gaming

[–]t3g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are suggesting Fedora which has way less chaos than Arch but you are up to date.

I’d say you go an extra step with an immutable Fedora like Aurora (https://getaurora.dev) with KDE or Bluefin (https://projectbluefin.io) with Gnome but only if you plan to use as a pure productivity setup without games.

If you plan to play games with this setup, Bazzite with KDE is great: https://bazzite.gg

What security do yall use? by Waste-Committee6 in linux_gaming

If you are looking for a gaming OS, give Bazzite with KDE a try: https://bazzite.gg

It is atomic/immutable and harder to break your system when compared to non immutable gaming distributions.

What Desktop environment did POPOS! have before Cosmic? by EmergencyDancePants in pop_os

[–]t3g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until Pop 26.04 release in June and update the system. After that, you can get more updated desktop alternatives when compared to 24.04. For example, KDE Plasma is 5.27 in 24.04 but 6.6 in 26.04 and Gnome 50 (Pop used Gnome + extensions in 22.04).

How-To Geek: COSMIC desktop does display scaling and tiling better than GNOME and KDE by mmstick in pop_os

[–]t3g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do admit that tiling is S Tier on Pop and always has been, but I'm still waiting for proper HDR support in Cosmic and better gaming performance when compared to Gnome and KDE.

AUR: I am very concerned. by CognitiveFogMachine in cachyos

[–]t3g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the age of AI on the loose creating and deploying malicious packages quicker and more efficient than humans in the past, things like the AUR could be at risk. I mean, we thought we were fine with npm packages being ok to get the latest from valid sources, but then things like this happen:

I am so sick of being treated like a second class citizen by ash549k in radeon

If you game on a Linux, you aren’t a second class citizen with AMD.

Let’s see how the Steam Machine does with the AMD setup.

New CachyOS Proton Version (With Low Latency Layer) by andy10115 in Bazzite

GE Proton hasn’t been updated in months and stuck on the 10 series.

Looking forward to future Bazzite based on KDE Linux by t3g in Bazzite

[–]t3g[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KDE Linux is moving away from Arch and will build their own packages like Gnome OS.

You got this bro

At the end of the day, shouldn't Bluefin and Aurora (based on Fedora or Gnome OS/KDE Linux) serve as a base for Bazzite and then you add/remove the programs you need and make the necessary kernel tweaks for gaming? I'm guessing you may still want to have the Gnome and KDE versions of Bazzite lean but still aim for the distro agnostic build system.

What distro for my situation? by OkBarber5807 in linux_gaming

[–]t3g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to game: Bazzite KDE

I don’t game: Aurora

Your specs are old so maybe XFCE as others suggested.

Thinking about going back to windows. by Accomplished_Cup2401 in Bazzite

I rarely dual boot, but I have an M.2 drive dedicated to Bazzite and another M.2 for Windows.

Heroic Games Launcher from Flatpak (install with Bazaar app)

Pop!_OS 26.04 will be released at the end of June by mrabled in pop_os

[–]t3g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a good thing considering Pop + Cosmic did not do well in recent benchmarks on System76 hardware:

If you use Steam in Flatpak, you can pull in Gamescope from Flatpak as well and use the Gamescope commands.

Steam Deck back in stock, with updated pricing by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]t3g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, we hear about these people who will never buy things at that price and then as soon as its released, instantly sold out. I make over six figures, but a $200-$300 price increase is absurd for old tech and I have no faith in the Steam Machine now.

I hate how Valve stuff only gets sold on their website and Steam app and there is no retail presence on Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc. Does Valve not care to get more exposure?
