If Linus were to visit Mount Everest, he’d reach base camp, spend the next day criticizing the sherpas, calling them foolish for taking the well-established path, and insisting that a direct line to the summit is obviously the best option.
Bazite has solid onboarding, hardware support (including Nvidia and AMD), and, dare I say, even printer support. All things he complains about in this video. But then again, what do I know? I’m just a sherpa.
Alright I watched the video and besides it being what you’d expect from a typical LTT video, I don’t see anything that’ll get me to raise a pitchfork.
He’s talking about SteamOS from the POV of the average gamer, who he calls “Joey Mainstream”. I’m starting to wonder how many people on this site regularly talk to none Linux users/gamers?
I also brought this up in another post a while back, Your average gamer doesn’t care about open-source, privacy, software, corporate overreach, etc. They just want software OS made by a corporation they trust. Most of these people probably only know of Linux from memes about needing a PHD to install a web browser.
Also should point out I personally do care about all the things I mentioned before. And I think mainline/non-SteamOS Linux is already great for gaming. I’m just pointing this out as the general consensus from most people I talk to who a line with the “average gamer”.

And Linus has a tendency to feed into that misunderstanding instead of fixing it
Yeah I agree with you most the time.
I was gonna give him credit for talking positively about the Discover app store, but he also made the whole flatpak vs native package thing sound way more complicated than it really is…
I would expect LTT to do the bare minimum of research. There are a lot of videos on youtube talking about Bazzite as a great option to install SteamOS on the desktop that i’m sure “Joey Mainstream” could’ve seen
He did mention a handful of them “SteamOS like” distros at the start, and hopefully he covers Bazzite in the future.
But as I said before your average gamer wants a Valve backed up OS because they trust Valve more than open source devs they hardly know of.
I would like more people to try distros like Bazzite but just getting people to try any form of Linux is still a stepping stone imo.
Linus is such an insufferable tool. Let him stay on Windows.
After the situation with his former employee (i forget her name) coming out and exposing how toxic of a work environment that company is, i completely stopped watching (not that i was a regular viewer before) and do not give their vids the slightest bit of my time
Madison I think
Yes, Madison was the one. They were hilarious in the video where they won a free computer but when she came to actually work for the company, it was apparently a much worse experience.
He just needs more of that Honey dosh to calm down with
You know, for a guy named after Linux, he sure is annoying
This guy has such a punchable face.
Dude, if you put in a nvidia card and the only thong you see is a glitchy mess, I wouldn’t call that solid support
The glitchy mess is with SteamOS 3, the post is saying Bazzite has solid Nvidia support.
I just started watching the video and… I do agree, but worth adressing, isn’t it? Majority of desktop computers do have nvidia gpu after all.
I do wish nvidia would get their shit together, I am dualbooting with win10 and arch (kde/wayland/nvidia), with preference on arch. But man, when their shit breaks it’s dire. My work laptop with amdgpu works so much better… but I can’t game on that system, can I x) (edit: also, shhh, SHHHHHH. games work, but I shouldn’t)
edit: done watching, as far as I can tell (caveat: I am slightly beer’d up) nvidia issues didn’t come up. Not that they’re not a thing, … are we commenting on the same video?
Sorry to hear that. My 1080 works just fine and I use it daily, but that’s using the legacy navidia drivers. I assumed the newer cards with the newer driver would be in a better state. What card do you have?
