Bazzite transformed my Legion Go handheld into a giant Steam Deck. Love it.
I tryed it on my Legion GO but switched back to Windows becouse it jist works better in my opinion. Becouse some things dont work in nested desktop and when you are not in nested desktop you dont have on screen keyboard. And the Steamos keyboard is really bad if you use other language than english and my favourite keyboard called onboard didnt work at all.
Yeah that's what linux is, if you don't like it you don't have to use it@@Fareke2
Same with my ally. Love it. Shit just fugging works. Was running nobara steam deck for a while. But now it’s bazzite and it’s been almost entirely trouble free.
Did the same for my Ally. I had some issues while using desktop mode because plasmashell would crash, but apparently it was a new version issue. I'm a developer so I can work my way around it, but for a non-tech-savy person I could become problematic when/if running into these kind of issues
@@arthuraguiar5382 bazzite is still very new. I haven’t had any issues with bazzite on my ally.
"live sound change, thats just crazy" the most relatable moment of awe for a linux user ever 😂
I don't get it why is that crazy
@@laupoke oh if only you knew
@@laupoke It's because Linux is yet to figure out a normal working audio pipeline while Microsoft figured it out back in 2006. But remember that Linux is superior in every way and there's no reason to stay on Windows. ;)
@@supra107pipewire figured this out years ago, you’re misinformed.
@@Da532 hasn’t pipewire only been popularised recently? Or was it version 1.0…
I switched from windows 10 to PopOS around Christmas time. Installed it on a separate SSD, to keep the windows 10 install just in case I needed it....I've not gone back to windows. PopOS has done everything I've needed, emulation works very well, basic desktops tasks are easy, and modern gaming works very well, I've not had a single problem. Good bye Microsoft.
i tried the same at the time and didn't like popOS. tried it later again with mint instead and this time i liked it a lot. i can't ditch windows entirely, but i'm hella downscaling on the reliance. over time i plan to change from dual-booting to just having a windows virtual machine in mint instead.
Ujust is not the main package maintainer. Bazzite uses rpm-ostree, flatpaks and homebrew as package managers. Ujust is a shortcut utility for common tasks. Ptyis terminal used to be called prompt terminal.
Lol why would they rename that?
To avoid clashing with the original package "just", so you can have both installed if you need
@@MinaSchlochtrademark issues in regards to the terminal being named "prompt" so the dev changed it to ptyxis (pronounced pixis) or if you want the meaning of the name "the folding configuration of a single part in a leaf"
@@DjebbZujust is just an alias for 'just --unsafe'. Still regular just behind it.
Great to see Bazzite getting the love it deserves. Been daily driving it on my Thinkpad z13, and it’s fantastic not only as a gaming-centric device, but also a great Fedora GNOME desktop, so use as a main box isn’t out of the question. If you end up wiping your Steam Deck proper and using Bazzite, would love to see a compare/contrast after some use.
typo in title just funny, we know that he intended "steam" but stream is good too
I've been rocking Bazzite for a few days on my Steam Deck and my laptop, primarily relying on an Arch Distrobox for stuff that doesn't have to touch the base system. Gaming is painless and everything is rock solid.
People who say "Gaming is hard on Linux" haven't tried proton. I don't mean to diminish the difficulty; I do most of my gaming with GOG games on Lutris, and it's fine, I'd say 80%-90% are basically out of the box, but Steam Deck and Steam OS are seriously on another level. The future of Linux Gaming is here. It really is a paradigm shift.
people who say "gaming on linux isnt hard" are stuck in their linux bubble. like half of twitch most streamed games dont work AT ALL. sure some offline indie game on steam can use proton but what will you tell the people who play league of legends? valorant? fortnite? call of duty? rainbow six? those are big titles you cannot play. and dont get me started on having to tinker with many games in order for them to work...
the people that say "gaming isn't hard on linux" forget the 20% of games that don't work, and the 40% of games that work BUT
@@anonymouscommentator It's an anticheat problem. Anticheat devs purposely break their software to not work on Linux.
Try playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on Linux and if the performance on Linux is better than Windows, I'll switch to Linux 😂😂😂
@@bulletflight i know but you dont encounter these problems on windows. its really quite sad because the linux community really does everything they can

Yes pls! Bazzite Desktop Challenge!
It has begun... PCI Passthrough and all my programs are going! ... I am really really am loving it.
Bluefin is better for general use
@@ChrisTitusTech FEDORA FTW!
@@ChrisTitusTech I moved to Japan 2 months ago and brought my Steam deck with Bazzite-Gnome-Deck as my only computer to use here. I have had zero problems with it as a daily driver.

The Stream Deck Strikes Back!
@@mskiptr
Good ol' Elgato Stream Deck
thanks for covering this, bazzite is a really neat project
Been using Bazzite on my Steam Deck for 6 months.
Works great.
The pace of improvement in the last year or two on fully integrated Linux gaming experiences has been a sight to behold
Has a person who uses nobara on my home theater pc. Linux gaming is pretty much perfect. HDR support is almost perfect, for movies Dolby Atmos support is amazing (does require tinkering with kodi or mpv). The only obviously downside is anti cheat, but to be honest I'm not playing FPS on my home theater PC, so as long as I can play online coop games it's just perfect.
This Bazzite content is so needed. It's more or less my first linux distro as a PC gamer and someone who uses office software. The transition has been mostly seamless but the community could definitely benefit from a comprehensive guide to gaming on Bazzite or linux more generally. Like from initial set up, automounting drives and making new steam libraries(unexpectedly tricky), to things like hardware tips like what components work well with linux or cpu/gpu/ram tuning or setting up an NVME raid game drive. An easier onboarding could really help open up the pipeline of PC gamers who are getting off windows 10 and don't necessarily appreciate windows 11.
Great Video Chris! Probably the best OOTB experience. Got the Desktop Version and the Deck Version for my Ally!
Atomic/Immutable Systems are crazy reliable and still powerful in the hands of a pro, but safe for the noob. As the Distrobox Dev said: immutable distros are for the casuals and devs. I truly belive this is the future! And the "normal" distros wont go away... For the Hobbyist.
been using this on my steam deck for a while... it works insanely well and the fact it has a wizard installer so you can install whatever you please makes everything so much easier! (They're also overhauling the install wizard to make it better)
Thank you Chris for reminding us that tech is a source of joy and the constant process of discovering someting new is amazing
Super Cool! Thanks Chris! 🤗
Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on Linux gaming. I do hope that this Bazzite is continually developed. This so makes it possible to have a console experience (which I love) on Linux.
I would like to see a video of BazziteOS running on other handheld PCs like the ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion GO.
I'm also interested on that topic. The other handheld PCs really seem to be limited by Windows, in many cases they perform worse than the Steam Deck despite their more powerful hardware.
I'm running the desktop image in dual boot with my win 11, and I have the deck image on my living room pc. Bazzite is awesome.
Interesting stuff!
Thanks for the video!
going to try this in a VM, really curious. Thanks for the heads up
Ive been running bazzite on the ROG ally. It’s friggin amazing. everything from TDP to RGB just works
Oh man, this is huge for me. I'm about to be forced to sell my gaming rig since I'm deep in debt. Fortunately, I don't game much these days, but I have a spare debloated windows rig that'll become my main after I sell it. I planned on compiling Arch on it since my lenovo (not ibm) thinkpad finally crapped out.
Chris, you're a huge inspiration to me in every way. Not just for your knowledge, but your genuine enthusiasm for products instead of shilling. Thanks for everything you do.
I'm looking forward to HDR support in Linux Mint, this maybe an option to get my living room main PC working with my LG big screen fully. Is it surround sound compatible? Does it have HDR support for NVIDIA cards?
I've been using this on my rog ally for about a week now and I'm actually in the middle of trying to set it up for dual boot right now. I installed Nobara onto a spare drive for my desktop a while ago and it didn't work out too well but fingers crossed that this runs as smooth as it does on my handheld 🤞🏾
you should cover universal blue and what they're doing as well with fedora atomic
the ability to rebase to other OCI images is just nuts, nvidia drivers have never been easier to deal with, and the ability to switch desktop environments with one command, crazy stuff
Bazzite uses universal blue and oci images. I'm diving into this now.
The best *stream* machine :D
12:01 I tried bazzite a bit ago and had to switch off because it gave me audio skipping issues on my Nvidia 4060 ASUS laptop, but the _layout_ of how it functioned and installed was nothing short of beautiful. I love how Ptyxis feels designed for easy distrobox use out of the box. If I could guarantee that audio bug wouldn't happen to anyone else I recommend it to, then it would be an *effortless* recommendation from me. And frankly, when my only complaint with a distro is "I had a few bugs with it (that might be fixed in the future)", that's extremely rare in my experience, because often times if I have a complaint, it's because of the core design of how the distro does stuff, which isn't the case here. Goes in B tier for now, but would be S tier if it was bugfixed a bit. I would switch back instantly if I could do so in a manner where nothing went wrong with it.
thank you for shining a light on Bazzite! I have been using it on an OG steam machine, with an nvidia card and ever with all of those issues.... it is still pretty darn good. works way better than chimeraOS did for me. when i get enough spare parts to build a proper pc (with an AMD vid card), i'll definitely run bazzite on it.
I've also got an OG Steam Machine with the GTX 780 in it, planning on upgrading it at some point to a Ryzen 7 8700G and probably just using that as the graphics card since benchmarks I'm seeing have it outperforming the GTX 780 (otherwise I need to find an AMD card that will fit in the same space and still be an upgrade over the 780). But in the meantime are you using gamescope and/or the game mode or is it booting to desktop and just using regular big picture mode? I know Nvidia hasn't been playing nice with gamescope so I'm curious if it's actually working at all, or not.
@@8BitCerberus I have been just using it with big picture mode and it's been ok. Trying from the desktop gets a little too wonky!
What card did you use ? I try out nobara on my 970 , the problem always with flickering. Can't even run RO on it without the laggy with wayland. Waiting for new nvidia driver to drop .
@@4n4Queen same! I'm a couple bazzite/fedora updates in and desktop is still fine but big picture is still choppy af. i hate to blame wayland, but i think the steam machine w/nvidia might just be slightly too old for it.
@@4n4Queen i did try to flip from wayland back to x11 and bazzite was NOT happy about it but it still runs fine. i dont know how to revert it, it just complains about it in the terminal when i update. the nvidia driver updates cant come soon enough!!
Hell yea! Glad to see you’ve gone immutable🛡️
Honestly, I didn’t know Titus was still making videos!
Interesting distro 👍
Hello! Greetings from Brazil! Do you recomend this Distro for everyday use?
Thank you very much!
watching this on bazzite
Does sleep work with the hardware? I tried using ChimeraOS which is another steamOS image on an AMD desktop build. When I recover from sleep any game that was running before runs extremely slow like 5fps.
Hi. What is the PC that Titus is using in the video. I see that is from bee link? What is the model? Anyone know? Tks
I haven’t tried this OS yet, but Chimera has been amazing for power savings on my big rig. its ability to cap the frame rate on demand really helps during summertime.
I've actually been daily driving bazzite for about 5ish months now.. and previously I was just on silverblue, so it was just an 'rpm-ostree rebase' away for me.. I've actually been using silverblue for the past couple years.
The beauty of fedora atomic is really being able to flip between base images at will, as well as the stability of course. One of my side projects is to work on forking Bazzite to customize my rpm layers into a base image, although it's broken right now.. When you deviate away from the base image, updates get kinda slow.
Hi, Chris and CTT community. I'm looking for the video about the web - I think- tool that you use for cleaning the audio for your videos. Do you still use it? Or do you recommend anything in particular as of now? Thank you for your excellent material, always!
Thanks!
I was having issues with sound when I first set up my TV to my desktop PC, it would default to another source every single time but after messing around with the sound settings in desktop mode and turning off that sound source that I never used, it would default to the TV every time
This whole thing really makes me wish for a steam controller 2 based off the steam deck controls
Good video!
This looks very cool indeed.
This looks quite cool. Despite the fact that you can set Arch Linux up the same way manually, it's still tedious and sometimes impossible for some people, and tedious to maintain.
Bazzite is really nice. I am still waiting for delta updated, since it takes a while to update from full images for every update.
I did try Bazzite on my LCD Steam Deck and it worked alright, but it wasn't perfect. I had a couple desktop apps crash and some other weirdness, but it moves so fast that it could be much better now.
Did Decky Loader break on the latest update with this? Because it did on my steam deck, no game pages would give an error and if you tried to access Decky it fullscreened an error and made me restart it. I had to uninstall Decky, seems something with it breaks with every update but if that's not the case with Bazzite I might try it.
Any chance at a direct comparison to Nobara Linux?
I'm now on the fence between these two distros for a dedicated gaming box.
This is great, have an ageing laptop under the TV, mainly for media, but been curious about Linux for some time think it's time to take the plunge.
So how does this work with discord or trying to pull up UA-cam while gaming? Is this exactly like the steam deck or can I minimize game mode? Pull up UA-cam to like search how to do something in a game?
I haven't had any issues using Proton Experimental layer in Steam for my games. I run any of my purchased games, whether it's for Linux or not, without any issues. Even AAA games like Red Dead Redemption 2. So I don't really see the need for this OS. How does this OS run the Windows games anyway? Doesn't it use Proton too?
I moved to Bazzite on my GPD Win4 after Windows Update broke the gpu drivers for whatever reason. Installing again wouldn't work and a full reinstall did the trick. First time I though it might have been a accident, but when it did that the 2nd time I was like "f this" and imaged with Bazzite. I was a bit afraid because most of my library is on GOG and Epic, but they integrate good to Steam via Heroic. I like on their website you can select the specific hardware you have and it pops up with the proper image out of the door and shows a config video, super user friendly. Never looked back and I am handheld gaming in peace
Helldivers 2 runs pretty well on my Arch excluding multiplayer. Works just fine on SteamDeck.
Hey Chris, how does it compare to the ChimeraOS project in your opinion ?
Tried a bit of both. In my opinion, Bazzite is a lot better because its desktop mode is way more powerfull, which also means you have more options setting up your HTPC.
For example, I could simply make an web app of a UA-cam for TV page and add it to gamemode in bazzite. Doing the same in Chimera OS was hell. Also, it is way easioer to make installed apps in bazzite gamemode while chimera OS only supports flatpaks, and that only using the plugins
Imo, it boils down to how much you need the desktop mode and how much you need stuff outside Steam. The gaming experience, on the other hand, was the same in both systems
Any difference to HoloISO & ChimeraOS?
What this system is missing, is the keyboard operatable from a gamepad, to enter the commands to the terminal with a joystick
Could this distro be usable as a daily driver for pc? Or is the immutable part too much of a limitation?
Immutable isn’t that much of a limitation if you’re willing to work within Distrobox/Toolbox. Plenty of people use Silverblue as their daily driver.
Maybe some day we will have it like that on any distro...
For retro gaming / emulation there is also Batocera which offers pretty much everything out of the box in a console-like fashion. Updates are rare but it's very stable considering all the projects it is based on.
Thb, while I find these projects cool, I don't use my PC as a console, so I don't see myself using any of them even on external, bootable drives.
Crazy potential
How easy is the bazzite to update? Like nvidia driver update amd ryzen driver updates and system/kernel/dependencies/library updates
Nobara used to be the go-to gaming distro. I ran it for a bit but for the life of me I couldn't get Palworld to run properly. I'd just crash, or if it did launch, I'd get a lot of graphics artifacting. Proton Tricks was also giving me a lot of trouble. Tried Bazzite, got the C++ dependencies installed, and Palworld now more or less runs like it does on Windows. I need to mess around with it more, as there's still funkiness with Intel Arc cards. But I might have settled on a Windows replacement.
Nobara ended up being a disaster for me. It somehow ate my Windows bootloader on another SSD. I gave up linux gaming because of that, as well as 144hz refresh rate issues, wayland issues, etc etc etc.
This looks like I might go back in
How does this compare to Garuda or ChimeraOS? It also makes me wonder if something based on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed would work better.
I also would like to see a comparison to ChimeraOS. Also I have never seen Garuda either.
What would the difference be between a windows PC running games as always and a PC running this OS?
Is there's an option to stretch image from 16:9 to native 16:10 like on the Steam Deck? It's the most important thing for me, I hate playing with these black bars
Love this.
For a long time I’ve wanted to use a PC like a console. Turn it on and choose a game etc.
Obvious advantages to a PC over a console is customisation, emulation and backwards compatibility.
weird, helldivers 2 has worked on my arch install since day one
bazzite made me switch from windows to linux on a my gaming pc , it's been a month, and exept VR and a game that i need to tweak HEAAAVILY (and wait an update from the devs cuz proton is being funky) , bazzite made my pc runs MUCH better
Bazzite is a cool project and I want to use this as a HTPC to replace consoles as most of my library is in steam anyway and its something I have been chasing since Windows Media Center! The question becomes if Nvidia is not recommended on it due to some issues then for an AMD system what are the benefits over Chimera OS?
Also there is a lot of smoke that the next "XBox" is going to be a pc console hybrid. And MSFT wants to fix their OS for handhelds use. Also there is a lot of chatter about ARM cpus. Exciting times ahead for pc gamers and tech enthusiasts.
nvidia images do not have gamemode (same with desktop images), gamemode session is exclusive to the handheld, deck and htpc images which require amd gpus or intel arc gpus.
nvidia and desktop images still have access to gamescope though so you can run it nested in desktop with "gamescope -e -f -w 1920 -h 1080 -- mangohud %command%" as launch options for a game, but you will not have access to all the gamemode session functionality.
If you do use nvidia though, it is recommended to still use the X11 session due to the nvidia driver (this will most likely change later)
Also there is testing being done with the NVK driver in the non nvidia images, and gamemode will most likely work on that in the future.
hi thanks for introduce. im trying to run it on proxmox with deck image but i cant , i can only make it work with the virtual machine iso. but the vm iso has old version of bazzite and i dont know how to install deck on it
Can I use this to have a better experience with a docking station
I wish i could get a straight answer if linix supports the gaming feature's from the likes kf a 7900XTX frame gen ect.
Use it as a main I wanna see what compromises there are to the desktop experience (if any).
Have you tried out cachyos? I tried both nobara and cachyos and I think they are both interesting in their ways
CachyOS uses Arch and is probably interesting. Nobara uses a highly modified Fedora, and supports stuff like Resolve out of the box, but I would not run it when possible.
Ok now i am curious how to remove all desktop environtment stuff and replace it with hyprland
Bazzite is really, reeeally nice. I generally stick to arch forks but bazzite hits that nice out of the box experience with being able to do whatever you want.
8:17, Wootilty!! that would be so useful for me cause I have a few Wooting keyboards I use each day and setting them up requires messing with udev rules on Linux, luckily, the wootility download page has step by step guide, but its still an obstacle to new users if they are on Linux
Oh this is interesting for some reason I thought this was based on a Arch Linux and not fedora like the steam deck. That's why I went with Nobara which is made by Glorious egg roll who works on proton-ge. I am curious to see a comparison between the two.
Also just out of curiosity does Bazzite fix the issue in game mode where the mouse stutters and jumps around? The other issue I have found for the steam deck and steam is is that when using the game mode you can not unlock it if you have the pin password unless you use a controller.
I believe HoloISO is based on Arch.
HDR gaming on nvidia, best way to achieve currently? Just switched to Arch cos I figure the firstest jankiest versions will be available, and its kinda true but nothihn right.
I use Bazzite as my daily driver on a Nvidia PC, even though nvidia version doesn't support Game Mode. It's still an awesome, very stable and minimal setup distribution that I would wholeheartedly recommend to everyone, especially people new to Linux.
I used Ubuntu, PopOS, Debian, Fedora, Nobara, Fedora Silverblue etc. etc. and none of these distros worked as well as Bazzite. Genuinely my favourite linux distro.
Chris, how do you manage to have the same browser on all machines with all the bookmarks, history etc.?
VNC?
This
@@MinaSchloch How should VNC help in syncing browser data across desktops?
I’m using POPos and would switch to Bazzite but there are two issues in Bazzite I cannot seem to solve, I play Clone Hero and both Clone Hero and YARG on Bazzite crash on startup. Also I need to install xone in order to use my Rockband 4 guitar but I need DKMS in order to install it but every time I tried to install DMKS it fails. Right now both of these things are working correctly in POPos
Does this work for games with EasyAnticheat on them as well? The only thing holding me back from fully switching to a Linux distro as my main OS has been the struggle of running anti cheats on it!
Most anticheats themselves work on proton, but most games that use them specifically disable Linux support. For example Fortnite. So yes, but actually no.
My solution to this specific problem is to simply have two graphics cards, and one get passed to a virtual machine running a stripped down version of windows, and then using a custom compiled version of qemu to bypass vm detection. The game gets “streamed” back to the main Linux os over sunshine and a virtual network adapter so there is little to no latency / stutter, etc.
I would like to know the minimum and recommended system requirements for hardware.
On the developers website this information is hidden somewhere.
i have installed the htpc edition on something as old as an i5 4th gen with an rx570 8gb with 16gb of ram
on the nvidia part we really recommend anything RTX 20XX or GTX 16XX or newer (mainly due to NVK support and the chances of gamemode working on them in the future) but realistically you can use whatever is currently supported by the nvidia driver (i believe 10 series and newer?)
We have also had people install it on a decade old imac (dont try this please)
Personally i also run bazzite desktop on my laptops i use for work which are 10-14 years old respectively but i installed it on them expecting to not use them for gaming.
I always wish for a SDDM for security reasons. It is fine not to have it but Steam GameMode is not really save and going to Desktop mode via TTY is possible too depending on the users password... and default user name
Is it a operating system line mint?
What I've done was set up a gaming rig to run an application called "Sunshine" and then just use a streaming client called "Moonlight" on my other devices and just play games like that. I only ever play games at the desktop now when it's something like Quake or some other FPS that requires me to have the highest framerate and least amount of latency, it's really nice.. the latency on it puts Steam's streaming service to shame, Im even using it right now to watch this video on my TV 🤣
Does it come in pandora
I daily Bazzite's sibling, Bluefin. It's great as a developer OS and for gaming. Everything works pretty much as expected as it would in Windows - except for those titles that are known not to work. There are still some similar quirks with it as you're seeing in Bazzite.
As for Linux gaming - I've been working on some content creators lately on covering Linux more as an alternative for gaming. This is especially for the low budget gamers out there that are going to be up against it when Win 10 is sunset and Win 11 won't be an option. The prevailing opinion is "well, Linux is cool and all; but, you can't play Fortnite and CoD, and those are the only games that really matter to gamers." The reality is that there are way, WAY more games that do work on Linux than those that don't; however, since a few of the more popular titles won't work because the publishers are unwilling to enable support for Wine/Proton on Linux - it's not even considered as an alternative.
Personally, I'm not going to stand for it, and will continue to evangelize Linux-based operating systems are solid alternatives to the mainstream - particularly for those with aging hardware that won't be able to move to Windows 11. The days of compromise are over for the Linux desktop, it's ready to be seen as a viable alternative. We just need more people with a larger reach to start showing how good it can be.
When you say developer os, do you mean that it works great for developers as well? I’m working a lot with Java and dotnet mostly, but occasionally with a bunch of other languages as well. If Bluefin would be a good replacement for someone like me I’d love to give it a go. As it is now, I’ve basically given up on doing any development on my desktop, and just hook my work-supplied MacBook to the monitors and peripherals and use that instead when developing…
Yes, bluefin is a fantastic dev environment! It even comes with brew, I highly recommend Linux for programming
@@nobody.watchin Awesome! Gonna set it up on a separate drive after work tomorrow and give it a few days/weeks unless I hit some no-go issue. If there’s no deal breaking issues, bye bye Windows!
Would you recommand Bazzit over Nobara? I'm just curiose, because I will try both. (Tried Nobara already with happy and fustrated moments)
How is this different from Chimera OS?
What's the difference between this and Holo ISO?
Common Universal Blue W
This is it. This is the OS I want to build a small PC box for, because "a more powerful Steam Deck that sits connected to my TV" is all I want anymore. Damned if I can't figure out what's budget friendly and will do 1080p Ultra AMD-wise nowadays.
Why not ChimeraOS?
It's basicly SteamOS with a neat Web-Server ontop for easy installation for ROM's non-Steam-Games etc.
What is the advantage of this vs Nobara Steam Deck or Garuda?
You can easily rebase to other Ublue or Fedora Atomic Images. And you will always have a working maschine, if something goes wrong, just rpm-ostree rollback. It's crazy reliable, but it's heavily Flatpak focused.
