    Fedora wishes to push people who have x32 programs away from them. Check.

    Edit: put a x in front of 32 for the ones who don't understand what it means without the x.

            Damnit I just installed Fedora and it’s the best experience I’ve had lately. Works better than Bazzite and Cachy. Sigh.

              I've been running Steam as a Flatpak for a long time, it works just fine regardless of the underlying distro. Don't panic.

                  As a VR user, some of my games work as well as the flat games do (my god did proton do a damn good job on the flat games to the point I keep forgetting what distro I am using until I look at the "start/task bar") but some VR games refuse to load, others the visuals are extremely weird or darker than on windows (sharp light lines from ray tracing I assume or maybe dlss stuff), and some don't have the 1080p crispness I am used to on the monitor/in video playback from windows. I am confident these issues will be addressed as soon as they are able, hopefully before 10 is killed in the back alley, til then it's a duel boot for me.

                  Yes, I spelled it the way I did 😉

                    Bazzite for example runs poorly on my hardware. Video playback in browsers is super laggy/choppy/stuttery. I use the same browser in Fedora proper and it’s smooth.

                    As for Cachy, I know it’s meant for gaming but my games ran significantly worse than in both Bazzite and Fedora proper.

                    For my hardware setup, Fedora proper is the best balance between usability and gaming performance.

                    Thanks for sharing! I honestly thought Bazzite was fedora with a few more packages on the top, but your issue sounds interesting

                      They might even have 33.

                        Highly recommend ditching SteamVR and using Monado on Linux. Envision makes it super easy.

                          If you’re gonna be pedantic at least be correct. Either x32 or at least say “32-bit”.

                            The pedantic ones are the ones obsessed with correcting small errors. I only did it because someone tried to be snarky. Emphasis on tried. I for the most part overlook small errors unless they are funny. Which are the best kind of small errors.

                                Bazzite is actually not even Fedora directly but instead it’s part of the UBlue distribution that uses Fedora immutable as its base.

                                I guess think how Linux Mint uses Ubuntu base but Ubuntu uses Debian as its base.

                                It is a variant of a variant basically. Also immutable distributions work differently than normal ones due to their nature. The system files never get modified and everything is installed in sort of containers. That’s overly simplifying it.

                                Anyway, end of the day I’m still using Bazzite on my handheld Legion Go but on my desktop it doesn’t fly and instead I’m using Fedora proper.

                                  It's really unlikely this will become an issue. Especially not one without an easy solution. Fedora is a very popular distro.

                                      i would have liked if this had happened and i play games. this way, the pressure would rise on valve to release a 64bit steam!

                                      a short pain but better in the long run.
