Hello, gamers! Exciting times are ahead for game developers and developers wanting to use Bazzite. Building upon the incredible work by the amyOS developers, we are officially announcing the creation of Bazzite DX and Bazzite GDX (Game Developer Experience). Bazzite DX will be developer focused edition which will include general developer goodies, just like Bluefin DX or Aurora DX.

    Bazzite is stuffed full of polish, especially the Gnome variant and, little known to me at the time, they have a whole set of non-gaming-related tools in the background for developers who use containers (distrobox, podman etc), which is exactly what I use for my job.

    I was so impressed that I have installed it as my main OS on my laptop and have replaced SteamOS with it on my SteamDeck.

    This distro is one of the best I have used. It is definitely one to keep an eye on.

    Oh awesome! I looked into rolling my own image to combine Aurora-DX with Bazzite about a month or so ago, but I’ve been really busy since and hadn’t made much of a start. This is really exciting to see, will rebase over on my desktop as soon as NVIDIA gets support.

      I just installed it today! It’s so easy to set up and use, games have been working right out of the box and it’s based on Fedora Atomic meaning you can roll back updates easily if something breaks. As a brand new Linux user, I think it has great potential to convert more casual users over

        It started as an experiment to get off the Windows 11 train wreck for me and now I can’t imagine ever going back. Linux is so far ahead, it’s not even a competition.

    Amazing stuff Bluefin-DX really changed the way I setup and maintain my progjects in a good way.

      What do you do differently? I’ve been on Bluefin for 2 years but still never bothered with dev containers or anything

        Generally take a more containerised approach to my development, before I just had one big folder for projects and various others. It made me figure out how to be more organised especially with dependancies and folder layout.
