- Bazzite is a Fedora-based Linux distribution designed for gamers, offering easy setup and support for gaming hardware.
- It is part of the Universal Blue project, which provides immutable Linux images for reliability and flexibility.
- Bazzite includes custom kernels, gaming drivers, and support for NVIDIA GPUs, aiming to be a general-purpose desktop OS similar to SteamOS.
- Users can choose from multiple images based on hardware type, GPU, desktop environment (GNOME or KDE), and gaming mode preferences.
- Software management is simplified with tools like ujust (a wrapper for just), Flatpak, Distrobox, and Homebrew, though multiple installation methods can be confusing.
- Bazzite supports gaming via Steam (with Proton for Windows games) and Lutris, though Lutris may have compatibility issues.
- The distribution also works well for productivity and development, with options for custom images via bootc and GitHub Actions.
