I tried Bazzite on an old mid-tier gaming laptop, was Mondo impressed. I basically agree with all the things you said. Amusingly, I find that just general purpose computing is snappier and smoother too, so I wound up using it mostly as my surfing/Plex/shopping machine more than anything else.

It works, I never posted back. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll give it a try tonight!

I’ve been fighting with it since 5.5. I was able to play in Fedora 42 using Proton Experimental this morning, but it’s been super hit and miss for me.

Yup. A few games are like that for me. I set Steam to use compatibility with all games, and the only ones that don’t work at all are the anti-cheat ones. Even the new Monster Hunter works great for me. I have a mix of Nvidia and AMD GPUs, so it’s not just smug Linux AMD talking, either.

I find that a number of my games don’t say they’re Linux compatible, but work just fine. But that’s not what everyone says.
