Absolutely, if you want to squeeze every last drop of performance, Cachy is a great option provided you're willing to make the effort to tweak it. The great thing about linux distros is that there's choice.

I'm sorry Bazzite didn't work out for you.

Your use case sounds like a better fit for Arch, since you have very specific needs like adding uncommon device drivers, gocryptfs, udev rules, etc. For anyone else, wanting to try Bazzite, I'll answer the rest of the topics:

Flatpak apps with external devices

All apps I've tried support external devices just fine, in the event the app you need doesn't support external devices out of the box, try adding USB device access through the app's permissions in the System Settings app.

Distrobox Freezes & dependencies

I have an all AMD desktop PC, and an intel laptop, Distrobox runs perfectly fine. Every package will rely on dependencies inside Distrobox.

Edit: after writing this post, I realized I needed someway to de-drm my Audible books, so I installed the Libation RPM in my Fedora Distrobox, it failed to launch because it needed libicu or something like that, so I opened the Fedora Distrobox terminal and typed sudo dnf install libicu, done. Launched perfectly like it was installed on my base Bazzite installation. But all the dependencies remain isolated, unable to crap all over my system if something happens. My system remains shielded from dependency apocalypse.

Encryption

Bazzite supports LUKS full disk encryption.

corectrl

Use LACT, you can install it through the Bazzite Portal (that's Bazzite 1st run app, you can run it anytime though)

RPMs are needed for any external devices, like drawing tablets, etc..

Any external devices would be a great overstatement. I have the standard PC Peripherals, then I have: xbox 360 controllers, xbox series X controllers, Thrustmaster Wheel, Logitech x56 Flight Stick, none of them require any RPM and just work out of the box, unlike on Windows. For drawing tablets, there are tons that are supported right out of the box without any additional driver, for example Wacom.

For any developers out there wanting to customize Bazzite to fit your particular use case, you can even easily fork the distro and build your own and still get auto-updates, with any additional device drivers, RPMs, and whatever else you want to fulfill your edge use case. Follow this link here.

In the future, if you ever grow tired of fixing Endeavour OS, come to Bazzite.

Look. I've been there. I started my Linux journey with Arch based distros, then distrohopped a lot, and finally found the best for me, and what I personally consider the best either for normal users or those that don't want to do any maintenance.

It's the Universal Blue family of distros: Bazzite (gaming / KDE / gnome) Aurora (standard / development / KDE) Bluefin (standard / development / gnome)

Set it and forget about it. It just freaking works. For GUI apps install from the Discover app store (which uses Flatpak), for cli apps use Homebrew (brew install whatever). If you can't find something, open Distrobox (already included) create an Arch container, install whatever you want from the AUR, and use it like you're used to. It works like freaking magic.

If somehow you manage to brick your installation, when you reboot you'll be able to boot to a past snapshot.

You just can't fail with this. It's the best of the best IMHO.

Holy shit! I didn't know about GadgetBridge. Is there a way to connect it to Home Assistant?

Cool release! I'll be playing with the experiments. RetroDeck is the emu scene's MVP.

Good luck making a Linux user switch to a new proprietary browser.

It's as easy as any other alternative. You just download and run it. Afterwards, it's even easier than alternatives, since you don't need to get out of game mode to add games.

The software itself is free for less than 50 employees. Has all the features you need. You can very easily host it for cheap (From $4.0/month ) on http://pikapods.com/apps#chat

There are other free alternatives. But Junk-Store is better integrated into Steam Game Mode and supporting good software should always be in your best interest, even more so with specialized quality software like Junk-Store. If you have $6 at your disposal, it's well worth it.

Both are awesome but Heroic is more for desktop use while JunkStore is a Decky Loader plugin with a UX/UI more tailored towards game mode, making it ideal to use on the deck.

Well I tried BlendOS and VanillaOS, I found them very hard to use. Bazzite and other Ublue spins are VERY easy to work with. It's the easiest and most reliable computing experience I've ever had with a PC in my 32 years of using desktop computers. The devs did an amazing work there and it's really well thought out.

You can't trust them, being a centralized service based in a country where things could go way lore south anytime.

Fuck Mozilla's CEOs

Almost all Steam Deck news also apply to any Linux desktop gaming PC. If you're interested, check out Bazzite.

Steam integration: RetroDECK can now auto-add to Steam with preconfigured gridart and inputs.

Great news !

Maxima is on its way

Awesome, I hope EA gets added to Heroic !

All we need is Skate 3 via Xenon Recomp: infinite mods.

I'm sure MS will shoot themselves in the foot.

What signs ? It doesn't say in the article. It reads more like a butthurt apple user rant.

Do we know if this is gonna be p2w ?
