    It kind of does matter, from what I understand. nVidia's closed-source laptop chip drivers were apparently a huge headache for Linux gaming.

      Yep, and they're still quite troublesome. But installing Nvidia drivers is not the only problematic aspect of an immutable distro, so it doesn't matter at all if Bazzite makes it easy as far as my point goes.

        Hi. Can I apologize for getting so upset on your Discord and ask something? Next time you won't do something, please at least recommend another Distro that might.

        I discovered my best option is Arch Linux, though setup was not easy. Projects like Steam Handheld Integration Project are probably the best option for someone if they ask for a feature and you are unable or unwilling to provide it, I understand you're not obligated to code anything and just want to say that if a feature is outside of scope, recommendations for other distros is the best approach to deal with Linux newbies like me.

        Also, to anyone asking, yes Arch was a pain. It's a small miracle I got it working. It is, however, a good option for Windows 11 handhelds like the OneXFly if you understand command lines (CLIs) like my brother.

        Thank you.

        You are not forgiven, your behavior was disgusting beyond all measure.

        In no uncertain terms would I ever recommend Arch to a beginner, nor would I help a user behaving in the way that you did.

        Do not reach out to me again on any platform.

          Bazzite still has experimental support for NVidia GPUs, you should use Nobara HTPC Nvidia ISO

          None of the Nvidia issues are because of Bazzite. They are all because of NVidia's drivers and those are the same everywhere. Nothing Nobara or anyone else but Nvidia can do. See https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/quirks/#nvidia-exclusive-issues

            Not really on console-style hardware. That's why sales of these are so low.

            If that's the intended use case of that notebook, Windows won't be any fun.

            That said, I prefer not to touch Nividia with Linux myself after some trauma a couple of years ago.

              I use Linux for my server, VMs and networking hardware but get burned every time I try to use it for my hobbies/gaming. There's always something that doesn't work unfortunately.

                Usually NVidia drivers which is why I gave the heads up regarding them. SteamOS on compatible hardware is ready to use as much as it gets, definitively better than using Windows on any device that's not using keyboard and mouse as primary input. Again: That’s why sales of these are so low.

                    Well, since you decided to be fucking awful about it, I should note that the guy who developed Steamfork seemed to agree you were an asshole. Fuck you and fuck bazzite for killing your competition.

                    If you contact me on any platform ever again, I'll destroy everything you hold dear. Shut up if an honest apology that implied no attempt to ask for renewed access (why would I?), made for your benefit because I felt I'd flown off the handle and with no expectations of depenalization, is an insult to you.

                      Do not fucking tell me something and then fucking dig up dirt like this is some sort of fucking courtroom, my life was destroyed by psychiatric malpractice, and if any of those comments should've mattered, I'd be in jail right now because I did go before a judge and I was deemed to have been under the effects of incorrectly-prescribed medications for YEARS.

                      If you ever so much as look for my name in a search engine ever again, I'll be hiring a private investigator and then a lawyer. Go away.
