The thing is that the privacy, speed, usability and configurability are so much better, it's only you that's missing out by making a statement like that. I'm sure it makes no difference to OP.

I switched in April and I cannot believe I was missing out on this for so long.

What else would you want to run it on?

It gets worse if anything... Not sure my friends or family would get anything useful from this.

That is astoundingly judgmental. Good lord.

Cloud native is a weird term I'll agree, but it just means container based.

Bazzite is amazing and worth a try. I've been using it as a daily driver for nearly a year now.

Perhaps you'd prefer the Github over their "shit" website: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite

Or perhaps you'd like to positively contribute to the state of Linux gaming, and make some suggestions for the website in their post just for that: Requesting input: Bazzite’s website

Well here you go: https://bazzite.gg/

People who want to run a lot of different emulators, for example. You can play all your Steam Deck games and all your other console's games, from a single device with a great Big Picture mode.

Bazzite also includes Waydroid, which means you can use all your Android apps.

I know that it's possible to do some (perhaps all?) of that on a stock deck by doing all the setup yourself, but Bazzite handles it OOTB.

Luckily for you this already exists, and it's effectively SteamOS:

You can even put this on a Steam Deck as a drop-in replacement.

They use open source solutions for this, so you can spin up your own version if you want. It's just Matrix with bridges.

You could use Beeper, which connects with Whatsapp without needing the app installed.

They may have nothing to hide but they have IP to protect to stay in business. What a ridiculous thing to say.

It's like YNAB4. For those of us in that vintage it's perfect. If you're using the newer YNAB it might have missing features.

You can get USB-C to HDMI cables, you don't need an adapter.

If it's chunky as hella, you got stew there fella.

The "minimal" part is incorrect; it is a super complicated container. The number of moving parts don't leave me with any confidence that I could keep it running or fix any issues going forwards.

Mainly for security. I was originally looking at CoreOS but I liked the additional improvements by the UBlue team. Since I only want it to run containers, it is a huge security benefit to be immutable and designed specifically for that workflow.

The Ignition file is super easy to do, even for just one server (substitute docker for podman depending which you have):

Take a copy of the UCore butane file:

https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore/blob/main/examples/ucore-autorebase.butane

Update it with your SSH public key and a password hash by using this command:

 bash

    
# Get a password hash
podman run -ti --rm quay.io/coreos/mkpasswd --method=yescrypt

  

Then host the butane file in a temporary local webserver:

 bash

    
# Convert Butane file to Ignition file
podman run -i --rm quay.io/coreos/butane:release --pretty --strict < ucore-autorebase.butane > ignition.ign

# Serve the Igition file using a temp webserver
podman run -p 5080:80 -v "$PWD":/var/www/html php:7.2-apache

  

During UCore setup, type in the address of the hosted file, e.g. http://your_ip_addr:5080/ignition.ign

That's it - UCore configures everything else during setup.___

Rootless Podman :) It requires you to learn a little bit of new syntax, for example, the way you mount volumes and pass environment variables can be slightly different, but there's nothing that hasn't worked for me.

I'm using this on uBlue uCore, which I would also strongly recommend for security reasons.

Wonderful response, and I agree completely. It echoes the thoughts I've tried to convey to friends in their 20s, but much more eloquently than I have managed.

I switched and was very glad to do so. You increase your security and so far I haven't seen any downside. Every container I've tried has worked without issues, even complex ones.
