Installed bazzite on steam deck and it's fucking awesome! permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] helix@feddit.org 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children) What does it do better than SteamOS on the Steam Deck itself? Genuinely asking as I didn't really see any need to switch even as the compulsive tinkerer that I am... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Vincent@feddit.nl 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) Being able to install it yourself on any device seems like a big advantage :P permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] helix@feddit.org 2 points 7 months ago* (1 child) Got it, thank you. I don't have any device, I specifically own a Steam deck and if that's the main benefit, I probably don't want it on my other devices (I use Arch, btw). Should've added "on the Steam Deck" in the first place, sorry 😅 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Vincent@feddit.nl 1 point 7 months ago Haha yeah, I'm not super up-to-date on Bazzite, but I believe it doesn't add much on a Steam deck. (And if you don't want your other devices to boot up into Steam, you probably don't want it there either.) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 months ago (1 child) Generally no... Cachyos steam deck version is better in basically every test iv seen them compared head to head in. Bazzite is more or less the default choice cause it's a flavor of the month more then it makes any kind of actual sense. If your going to bazzite your typically better off staying on the stock OS. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] helix@feddit.org 1 point 7 months ago Have you seen comparisons between SteamOS and CachyOS? Since we established Bazzite is probably inferior on the Steam Deck when I only want to play games, I wonder if I'd gain anything with CachyOS, which seems to be more like the Arch I usually use. permalink fedilink source parent
