    Performance wise, I doubt there’s notable difference.

    I’ve tried both, and honestly Bazzite OS is on a league of it’s own.

    Nobara has updates with breaking changes that require manual steps to avoid bricking your installation.

    Bazzite on the other hand immutability makes it a freaking indestructible distro, and for a gaming machine, that is a good thing.

    Bazzite’s CI/CD automated builds helps them release upstream improvements way faster, for example… they are already on Fedora 40.

    It also comes ready to go out of the box. The experience is amazing. The only drawback is having to reboot to apply changes to the system. But the many benefits outweight this inconvenience.

      Agreed. I was enthusiastic about Nobara all the way up until I had to do a version upgrade. If I had to start from scratch now, I’d go with Bazzite.

        The Bazzite installation is so streamlined, it would take you an hour to install and set it up to the point where you are now. Unless you did something extremely out of the ordinary.

          The installation is the easy part; first I have to back up all my configs. It’s the media machine in the living room, though, so it’s not super urgent.

            When I installed Kinoite to start using Linux as my primary daily driver, the first thing I did was setting up Ansible, creating a new playbook and all Linux configurations I made from that point on, are only ever done through that playbook, which is backed up in my Forgejo instance. One command and everything is being set up exactly the way I want. It feels extremely liberating.

      Goddammit this all sounds so good. My final and most important question that decides if I switch. What does the neofetch icon look like?

      Edit: I just looked myself and its a controller which looks cool but i don’t really like controllers. 🤔 hard choice but I think I’ll try it out.
