Ngl, even though I am happy about this, ill prob just stick to bazzite, and just move anything else thats "powered by steamOS" to it as well. And Windows. I am simply too much a sucker for the quality of life stuff on it, like ROM data taken from the file

What makes Bazzite so much better to use on a Deck versus SteamOS? It doesn't seem any different than just using Remote Play/Moonlight/whatever and streaming from your main gaming rig?

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Have you visited their website? It explains what it is and it is definitely a lot more than just a way to stream games from your PC. How did you come up with that conclusion?

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's the first description on the website. It says it's a cloud native Linux image that comes pre-installed with all the apps for gaming, e.g. Steam, Lutris, etc. I was asking a question as to why it's better than SteamOS, as when I see cloud native I just assume it's something designed for and around streaming. I may be misunderstanding its purpose, but that's the impression I get from the site.

The main advantages of Bazzite versus SteamOS is receiving system packages in updates at a much faster rate, choice of an alternative desktop environment, Waydroid support, layering system-level packages at your own risk without messing with the filesystem, and printing support.

From their FAQ page https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/FAQ/

Pretty much all linux distros have printing support

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Except SteamOS, as I discovered when I needed it badly.

Still, I'm sticking to SteamOS on the deck and Bazzite for the desktop.

[–] cmhe@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, it seems to be a misunderstanding. They are using cloud tools to generate and update the base operating system.

"Better" is always relative. Personally I generally prefer not to use software that comes bundled with the hardware, that way I avoid any vendor lock in. The hardware vendor should not be in a position of deciding what I should or shouldn't be able to do with their hardware, and software should be open to the customer, so that it does exactly what they want, not more or less.
