    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?

    i just installed bazzite on an A6-6400k system and it works really well. i first installed Fedora, but an amount was missing to get my 1030 running for media decoding. Yeah this system should be sent to the grave, but it’s working and doing what i need.

    I also run this on my daily laptop and works very nice.

    Bazzite is an awesome OS, so I’m glad to see people switching to it. I run it on my living room PC. It’s great for TVs.

    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.

    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?

      As long as you have a spare drive for it, it works great. It does not support dual boot on a single drive.

      But SSDs are dirt cheap these days.

      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.

        Same here. Booted windows one time because I needed to fix my 8bitdo controller.

    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.
