SteamOS works great for the steam deck, there really aren’t any extra features that I can think of that are useful from bazzite. Updates happen often enough… There’s just not really any reason to go through the effort of changing to bazzite and reinstalling everything, but I guess it shouldn’t hurt either.
It’s not always preferable to be constantly updating to the most bleeding edge available… On the contrary, for something like a handheld gaming device I think stability is a bigger priority. Most of the updates that might, for example, make a game start working better, will be from Proton anyway, and your choice of OS makes no difference to how fast you get those, they’re either from Steam or the ProtonUp app, which will get you the latest custom versions from GloriousEggroll.

In my experience it either works or it doesn’t. The only extra step I’ve needed to do for anti-cheay on Steam games is installing a Proton runtime for the given anti-cheat, which are just in the tools section.

Hmmm okay I understand. There might well be a dedicated program for this, but I’m also sure it’s technically possible, just maybe far from trivial.
A bit of searching turned up this, I haven’t tried it myself but it claims to offer the functionality you want: sourceforge.net/projects/linuxjoymap/

My understanding is that actual kernel-level software would have to at least have a Linux-specific driver included. Otherwise if it really is running entirely through Proton, it’s somehow faking the ring 0 access. I’m not entirely sure, but I do think that anti-cheat must work differently from the big ones like FACEIT and Valorant.

Ahh okay no I’m pretty sure that isn’t being explicitly enabled.

Hmm, I haven’t had this issue with Peak and I’m running Wayland…

Denuvo is not a blocker for Linux, anti-cheat is the main one.
- Comment on What are your experiences using Linux for gaming? 1 week ago:
BattleEye and EAC have both worked on Linux since 2021. Any games that use those at this point but don’t support Linux are choosing to block the platform (e.g. Fortnite).

I wouldn’t recommend replacing your steam deck os with bazzite… What’s the expected benefit?
- Comment on What are your experiences using Linux for gaming? 1 week ago:
I think that’s pretty specific to Elden Ring – it’s had that stuttering bug since launch on Windows and while they made it better it still happens, but for whatever quirk of Proton it never happened on Linux.

Without context this is pretty useless for OP. It sounds like you have some exotic non-gaming-related workflows and without knowing what those are it’s impossible to say if they’re anything OP would ever need to deal with.
For gaming the only non-starter at this point is games that the devs have chosen to make not work on Linux, i.e. ring 0 anti-cheats and a few other games made by assholes like Fortnite. VR is also hit and miss, for some people/systems it works nearly out of the box, for others it might be a big pain.

They won’t run on proton. “Kernel-level” means it’s well below the level that Proton runs at.

I don’t understand what you mean, how do you do this in Windows?

Not autistic but yeah I hate them. If they weren’t so sticky it’d be better…

Factory farming has never been done sustainably. Give an example if you disagree. Or are you one of those homesteader guys who thinks he can raise two cows and four sheep on an acre alongside your field of corn and miniature orchard?

- Comment on Super Meat Boy 3D Announcement Trailer 2 months ago:
This does look a lot more faithful to the gameplay of the original than that weird mobile game they made a couple years ago. I’m sure the move to 3d means the precision won’t be quite as demanding, but hopefully the extra dimension will make up for that with interesting new challenges.

- Comment on Should I just lie on job applications and say I have a college degree? 2 months ago:
I’ve already been in the industry, but it’s really not feasible at this time to get decent jobs without degrees I feel… The competition has really increased in the last few years and with AI putting pressure on everyone it’s only gotten worse. I’m pivoting to a field that’s not susceptible to idiots replacing me with a bad machine.

Right but look at the image, there’s a clear difference between the boxers and what looks like normal or jeans shorts. The long pants have similar styling.

Why are like half of these wearing full on pants? OP, do you actually sleep in like jeans shorts?

It’s designed from the ground up as a competitive multiplayer experience. A pve version would be an extremely different game.

Yeah this is a big reason why I’m not trying to get back into software dev. It seems like every job not already threatened or eliminated by AI is training or using it.
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 5 months ago:
I’m a Valve stan but it’s disgusting how they’ve abused and neglected TF2. It would unironically be significantly better if they just rolled back every change since 2016.
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 5 months ago:
Yeah you’d think that if you never played before it ruined the entire game.

Most players are using casual mode which is terrible. The community servers in TF2 are a pale shadow of what they once were.
- Comment on Valve releases full Team Fortress 2 game code to encourage new, free versions 5 months ago:
Yeah I’ve touched both TF2 Classic and Open Fortress in the past. They’re certainly better than post-2016 TF2, but a) they have very low player-counts, and b) they’re definitely not trying to be vanilla TF2. Each has their own unique vision and balance.
