+1 to op for posting the solution godspeed 🫡

It really depends on the game. Old games often run better on Linux than on windows. Check protondb to see how supported the game is, may be a driver issue. Old Nvidia parts use proprietary drivers which suck in comparison to old AMD parts which use open source drivers on Linux. New Nvidia parts use open source drivers, though these drivers are new and still having the kinks worked out. Sometimes laptops even have specific proprietary drivers that must be used for the laptop which can break compatibility with Linux or reduce performance. I’m pretty sure Intel is in the same boat, it’s proprietary.

Personally, for games I enjoy, I saw a small 5fps performance increase over windows on a newish desktop.

Adding that what they said above is correct. I personally hop between secureblue and bazzite depending if I want to game that day. Works great

I also have it on an old laptop which atomic is great for leaving unupdated for a long time and updating it without config when you need it

What? You’re acting like Fedora is like Apple or Microsoft lmao

It uses more, yeah. But it’s not a lot more. You could maybe compare the iso sizes

Oooh, didn’t know about that. Very exciting

I have a build like this for tinkering but to say it is slow and inefficient is an understatement. Very secure though. I can’t really see daily driving it.

You might want to look at the ujust commands on Bazzite, they have some options for setting up surround sound and VR I’m quite sure. I have a pretty simple setup personally so I’ve never used those things.

I feel like flatseal mitigates this a bit but I do agree that flatpaks have room to improve. Particularly with making sure flatpaks are verified against the open source projects they are made from.

I agree. Fundamentally, you still need good distros to plug into distrobox to make swapping between immutable systems quicker. In general I feel like running Fedora Atomic has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of using distrobox + boxbuddy to get quick and easy installs from AUR or something and saving annoying-to-make configs in a backup file somewhere.

Honestly, I haven’t considered this before but it sounds like a great idea.

Fedora installer heads stay winning
