Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.

Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

Huh.

I guess with my 16 cores and 64 GB DDR5 I don't really notice anything hampering my frame rate. 😅

But on my old PC with just 12 cores and 32 GB DDR4, I would sometimes close Firefox and all those YouTube tabs to get some memory back and make some CPU cycles available. Gosh darn Linux just handing out memory on loan rather than what's available. I don't use a swap file either. 😅

But I guess just closing stuff down isn't an option? Is it like services running?

    AMDs dual CCD CPUs tend to perform worse than their single ccd models in games. You can “fix” that by running the game only on one, and push everything else to the second. But I’d much rather not deal with that. A second computer is much easier.

    Plus I can fuck with computer A when computer B is still doing other things without interrupting. That alone is worth it.

    Also if you’re in a game and you have a video running that taking GPU horsepower. I’m not going to have a second GPU just to avoid that.

    Hey, if you have the space and don't mind the extra heat and electricity consumption 😎👌 all good by me.

    That's the other thing. My new computer is a Mac Studio which takes up almost no space, and uses like 10-15 watts. Because I can just turn off my gaming computer when I'm not using it I'm saving significantly more power. Like just your CPU at idle uses more than the entire Mac actually doing things.

    My second screen is a laptop (T580), also bazzite, often running moonlight to the big monitor so the main box goes to low power mode when not in use (it's also the NAS, so no sleep, but mostly lives @ ~50W, got the GPU down to 4W idle :)
