I considered getting a Pilet, but I can’t justify the cost when my 5-year-old lenovo flexpad does everything I need. Then I almost got a Raspberry Pi 500 just because it’s cool, but again, I don’t have any actual use case, I just love these sort of setups.
At least they stuck to it, and were transparent about the state of things.
I’ve bought several early access games that I don’t play yet, because I believe they will get there at some point. My hardware doesn’t do cyberpunk 2077 justice, but if it did I would’ve bought it too.
I just thought perhaps there is already a lot of the necessary components there since bazzite is so well-tailored to running windows games. But of course I have no idea what I’m talking about. I hope I made that at least somewhat clear in my comment.
This is just an idea, but bazzite could possibly work for affinity. It’s designed around steam and proton compatibility layer, and it can play almost all games made for Windows out of the box.
So perhaps you could use the proton compatibility layer instead of wine. You could even add the exe to steam as a “non-steam-game” to make starting the program super simple.
I am no expert here, it’s just a thought.
Good point, that was the beginning of the decline already.
Those speeder bike scenes, though. >chef’s kiss< The rest of the film could’ve been Han Solo throwing up into his helmet and I still would’ve watched it.
Star Wars is just a formulaic fantasy story with a sci-fi coat of paint on it. The original trilogy was groundbreaking because of the special effects, and the story was entertaining enough to not distract from that. The other six films in the main storyline bring nothing new to the table, and are thus boring cashgrabs.
You won’t regret it.
But be aware, it is an immutable distro. This means that it is basically unbreakable (you hear stories about how linux machines can become broken by some update or such, but not bazzite or other immutable distros).
But this also means that if you don’t find an flatpak (or appimage) of a program you need, it can be a little teadious to install it.

Just a warning. The distrobox option is especially flexible and powerful, but you do need to do a little reading up and setting up to install stuff using these methods.
Otherwise everything on bazzite JUST WORKS, especially gaming. And the flatpak store has a ton of stuff, I have never needed anything that wasn’t on there.
SteamOS is free to use for everyone, making it a legit Linux FOSS operating system.

It’s not easy to install for non-technical people though. But Bazzite is, and it’s basically a different “flavor” of steamOS.
It’s what I use, and it’s great.
Good point! I mean, valve doesn’t even report to stockholders!!! Bad valve, bad.
And valve has already won. Everyone else is just playing catch-up, and good luck catching up to a Linux-driven steam-integrated platform. You will need it.
Mozilla should approach proton to try and get accuired. I would love to see Firefox and Thunderbird become part of the proton landscape.
Great news!
You certainly have to learn new ways of doing things when you want to tinker, but they are basically UNBREAKABLE, which is my main plus point. I’m busy, I need my PC to be reliable. I don’t want to have to troubleshoot stuff just to keep it up and running.
If I had more time I would really enjoy the tinkering, but I don’t so I need my distro just work.
Define useful.
Just a rhetorical request, I’m not expecting an answer.
If this what works for work stuff, then more power to ya. I just hope you don’t do any personal stuff on there…
You will love it. Great for gaming, flatpaks are the standard, and local AI is easy to setup with podman.
Just be aware that installing stuff without a flatpak or appimage available can be somewhat of a pain.
Endless sky is a spaceship sim that I started playing recently. It’s well done, and there are a bunch of mods available for more story, ships, etc.
The remarkable 2 is apparently good for this if you know what you are doing.
I have one and I’m very happy with it, but I use it exclusively for todo lists and taking notes, so I have no need to tinker with it.
Laparoscopic Appendectomy. Or as the doctors like to call it, a Lappy-Appy.
I have that. It works surprizing well. The bits don’t always stay in the tool, but I consider it a good tradeoff for being able to carry 36 bits in such a small package.
