From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am interested in Bazzite, but am unsure about its compatibility with NVIDIA GPUs. Had anyone here had experience with this?
Works fine with the nvidia open drivers, what gpu you got
Geforce GTX 1080
Bazzite has a build for the older proprietary nvidia drivers, I'm pretty sure 1080s dont get the open source variant of the driver unfortunately 😔
https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules
https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this is the download for the proprietary nvidia kde iso
https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this one is for gnome
I don't know how well the proprietary driver runs, I assume if you got it running on another linux distro this will work fine
Thanks! I am still very new to Linux and have been learning the OS through OpenSUSE on an old laptop. Still debating which Linux distro to switch to for the windows desktop (the one with the 1080)
Could try dual booting to see how your hardware works
The open drivers ? You mean the ones without 3d acceleration support ?
🤷♀️ I don't know much about that, cyberpunk runs perfect on my 4070 idk what else you could want
Then you are surely running the proprietary nvidia drivers, not the open source "nouveau" nvidia drivers ?
No it's definitely the open drivers
Worked great in VM with Nvidia A4000. Zero problems, just a learning curve to use rpm-ostree and brew instead of dnf.
They make dedicated Nvidia images and I've heard good things. It's supposed to be one of the distros to pick if you want a good out of the box experience with Nvidia. Only used the Amd/Intel image myself though.
My son also picked Bazzite, which I hadn't heard of before. Unfortunately he didn't like it and it back to Windows again.
I have it on my HTPC and Steam Deck. It's good! Simple to use, simple to set up, no complaints.
On the HTPC you're running Bazzite? Do you play games on that machine?
I'm planning on setting up a HTPC, but I won't use it for gaming. I was thinking of setting it up to run Sway because I think I'll mostly be using Kodi which has good keyboard support, so why not try to do everything in a keyboard-friendly way.
Been using it on my desktop since a bit before F40 came out I think. Big fan!
Me too. The Bazzite desktops are amazing.
