I won’t consider these new devices because they don’t have touch pads, but if inwas gifted one or had a friend that had one I would definitely recommend Bazzite if they don’t play many multiplayer titles.
Great to see it taking off.
I think if you cut the player base roughly in half, the players that care for multiplayer titles which don’t work on Linux (yet) are also the ones not caring as much about touchpads; while the other half are a different kind of gamer who appreciates or even needs them.
I totally agree. I want the touch pads so I can play old games that were designed for a keyboard and mouse or a shooter that works better with them. Younger gamers aren’t going to want to tinker getting an old game to run and are likely to have been brought up on a controller and don’t see it as a hinderance.
That’s why I love the Steam Deck, it was built for all the nerds out there and it’s fabulous.
I’m waiting for a 2TB drive to arrive to upgrade the 512GB in my Legion Go and one of the first things I wanted to do was set up to dual boot Bazzite.
These little blurbs make me want to just blow away Windows right now though and go all in on Bazzite. Especially as I play literally zero “popular multiplayer shooting games”.
What does “cloud native” Linux mean?
Weird. That used to say “container-native”, which at least makes sense – it heavily emphasizes container technologies like Flatpak, Docker/Podman, and Distrobox.
There’s no yum or dnf like on a standard Fedora system (though you can use rpm-ostree if you are desperate). As an “immutable” distro, it’s designed so that you do not install apps at the system level.
I used container native originally because gamers are allergic to the word cloud, rightfully so.
Container native is wrong though, and I’m confident enough now to call it exactly what it is.
But none of those technologies are cloud specific so calling it cloud native is confusingly wrong.
