Bazzite has been great for gaming but I’ve been having issues lately when it comes to more productivity based tasks like running VMs. I’ve been thinking about installing Mint again and dual booting them. At that point I could almost get rid of my windows partition (still a handful of games I play once every couple months that use anti-cheat).
I tried Bazzite and over all liked it but it was giving me fits on a couple of things too so I moved to Fedora. That was a couple of years ago and and I’ve been happy with it. I have a windows drive because I can’t get my WFH software to work right but only use it about once a quarter.
I can’t remember why I went with bazzite over regular Fedora. I think it had something to do with the display protocol not liking my monitor setup but I’m probably completely wrong. Maybe instead of dual booting bazzite and mint I can just install Fedora and call it a day.
It’s been a couple months so I don’t remember specifically. I just remember looking it up and finding a number of results saying it wasn’t really gonna work, with bazzite being an immutable OS. I think something needed to be updated or changed and I couldn’t do it.

3 OS in parallel 💀
Maybe reconsider your distro choice at this point.

I never understood what about Bazzite is supposed to be better than Fedora… Slapping a “Gaming” label on an OS turns it into a gimmick honestly.

Mint is a good no nonsense OS that’s pretty reliable and easy to use, but what’s happening with Bazzite when you try to use VMs?
