SteamOS or Nobara? (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Just got the Steam Deck and have everything set up, but I found out that Nobara has a Steam Deck version of their distro. My question is: is it worth switching to Nobara SteamDeck Version or stay on SteamOS? Are there any other big differences other than Arch vs Fedora? Also, does it use KDE?

Nobara=mad respect to Glorious Eggroll

Bazzite is fucking cool because it uses the OCI framework. It is designed to be immutable and be run rootless(like SteamOS) so your base system just can't break. Everything is sandboxed against everything else by default. Using Fleek/Nix you can even run software from the cloud.

https://github.com/castrojo/awesome-immutable This is an excellent resource on immutable OSes.

Cheeky PS: You can overlay an OCI image of Nobara's enhancements onto Bazzite with something like this https://github.com/VinnyVynce/silvernobara

The testing build of Bazzite should have everything in your bottom link and more ;)
