I don't have much experience with Linux, but I do have some. I'm thinking of leaving Windows as I'm trying to focus more on privacy and less AI.

I tried a Bazzite bootable install, and everything seemed to work great except for one thing- the RGB on my XPG ram sticks. OpenRGB controlled everything except those sticks as they went undetectable by the software. I tried the latest experimental OpenRGB build with no improvements.

That seems to be the only incompatible bit. While annoying it's not a deal breaker. How do you feel about using bazzite on a higher end desktop for gaming and as a daily driver? I don't play any games that use kernel anticheat.

UPDATE: Installed it this morning. Went with the Gnome version. Really enjoying it so far! Still getting everything situated, but I'm a happy camper. Thanks for the help, everyone :)

I've been using it on my gaming machine, an AM4 CPU with an nVidia 30xx GPU.

Everything works great. I've got some custom network drives and other unique-to-me configurations - took a little time to get right, but I wouldn't say it was hard.

Generally, if you have a cutting-edge graphic card, driver support may not be perfect. But other than that, it works great as a daily driver.
