Founder here, the more I see this whining the more I want to keep it on the website.

It's the accurate definition.

Hey there, I'm the founder of Bazzite. Just wanted to confirm that we have no interest in VC funding. It says it's cloud native because it's cloud native, not because we're marketing to people with too much money and a lack of sense.

I used container native originally because gamers are allergic to the word cloud, rightfully so.

Container native is wrong though, and I'm confident enough now to call it exactly what it is.

SteamOS is more locked down, the root is read only and there's no layering system so every update completely undoes any changes you might have forced on the root partitions by disabling read only mode.

Xone is indeed pre-installed, Xbox controllers are just plug and play, or pair and play for Bluetooth. You need to open a help thread if you're having issues, but try updating the firmware of your controller in the meantime.

At this point when people tell me the website runs like shit I just laugh and tell them they've been filtered. That does 120 FPS on a phone, if you're lagging on that site just go ahead and give up on gaming.

For that, check out Bluefin or Aurora. They're all under the same umbrella as Bazzite, but with a user/developer focus instead of a gaming focus.

Only the kernel module is open source, and it's just a wrapper for closed source blobs.

In actuality the open source drivers just kill all support for the 10 series, and otherwise do nothing to fix Nvidia's utterly fucked up driver problems.

Smells like FUD to me.

It's the same RPM that's installed in workstation from RPM fusion. There's nothing custom about that.

Gamescope is also an RPM, it's a slightly newer version than what Fedora packages but it's packaged the exact same way. Neither of those are likely to break because they are fundamental to the basic functionality of the deck images.

Additional pre-installed packages are added, but existing packages are not touched.

It's immutability comes directly from silverblue and kinoite, again nothing custom there.

Such as?

I'm not sure what you mean by that, it's directly built on Fedora which is probably one of if not the best workstation OS.

Gamescope is broken on Nvidia and has been for years.

It currently breaks Firefox, but they're working on it.

Bazzite doesn't use flatpak steam. Standard rpm install with no sandboxing.

If you installed it that's entirely your fault.

For me it's foldables, those have come a long way in a short time and I find them to be very compelling.

Once they perfect it though it's going to be back to the same stale shit.

No the article you are replying to, lay off the crack.

As evidenced by: this article

Oh wait

We solve this problem by treating distroboxes as cattle and not as pets. Blow them away at any time.

Which btw also include the Fedora Flathub repository.

We no longer touch the repos as Fedora is now in agreement with using Flathub.

You start to sound like a GrapheneOS dev. It makes no sense to prevent users from reinstalling removed packages.

It's for user security. I have no interest in debating this decision, my reasons are outlined.
