    Thinking of making the switch away from Windows and I’ve been looking at Bazzite as an alternative since I game fairly frequently.

    Does anyone know if there is a way I can play my game pass games if I switched?

    bazzite runs well enough on most of my machines but there are a couple that really struggle with it.

    looking for alternatives that will handle amd cpu and Nvidia gpu because that fell in my lap

      Have you taken a look at Aurora yet? It asks if you have an nVidia chipset and will automatically build an iso for you to install. It wasn’t the distro I wanted, but it was a smooth install and ran well.

    I tried hard to get into Bazzite, it went really well for a while but I had issues after every update. Most recently something to do with the os-tree got corrupted and refused to boot, ended up having to boot into a live iso to edit some files on the disk.

    I will absolutely be trying it again in 6 months because its really good and I’m sure they’ll smooth out those update issues.

    The more I learn about Bazzite the cooler it seems, but I’m not in a position to switch away from windows right now. Anyone had experience with running it dual-boot?

      I just upgraded my version to the newest one.

      It’s sleek af now. Like iOS levels of professionalism - you’d think it comes from a corporation sized staff with the level of polish it has.

      I am currently dual booting bazzite and win 11 and I don’t even use the 11 drive anymore. I’m going to get rid of it and go full bazzite.

    Gaming is a powerful force.

    Unfortunately, Bazzite has been crapping out for me when entering and exiting sleep, so I may have to give it up. Which sucks, because there’s a fair bit of customization and another shortcoming is no easy portability outside of rebasing.

      Not sure if this will work for you, I had a problem with waking from sleep first few days, found a forum post that worked for me:

      Set a color profile in the display settings - doesn’t matter which one, it just wanted one selected. Been solid-as a rock since.

        Are you kidding me, that worked?!

        I mean, there’s no color profile option in the current KDE Plasma display config for HDR on Wayland, but just for the crap of it I flipped their “efficient color precision” to the “accurate” setting, which gives you a performance warning and it went to deep sleep for several hours and recoverd once successfully.

        I hate it here. I’m going to choose to believe this was a fluke and when I leave this thing on overnight it’ll die in its sleep as it’s been doing for a while.

        That’s… random.

        But hey, I’ve tried a bunch of the logical, actually-sound setup tweaks unsuccessfully, who knows what dark rituals the proprietary Nvidia drivers demand to come back from the dead at this point. I’ll give it a shot next time.

        Huh, waking issues have been plaguing me for ~9 months in regular Fedora KDE, to the point where I don’t let my PC sleep and just shut it down at night. Hopefully this fixes it there too.

        EDIT: Working flawlessly for 5 days, thank you!
