Want to try something a little different? Bazzite was recently announced as a Fedora 38-based Linux distribution designed to bring the best Linux gaming to PCs and Steam Deck.
The way I describe it to people who aren't well versed in all of this is it's Fedora Kinoite/Silverblue with a recipe on top, we just manage the recipe.
hmm.. I've been contemplating installing this.. as I want to use my deck as a full fledge system (windows 10 for controller/anticheat workarounds with linux for everything else).. On one hand steamos is built with the deck but on the other Bazzite is more stable and up-to-date without missing features... it's a tough decision. since this os can be dualbooted and play waydroid..

This is a relatively new technique to the Linux desktop of layering custom changes onto an existing Fedora image.
You can always throw away those customizations and boot into a pristine upstream Fedora image. (or any other image for that matter).
So it's applying a config on top of Fedoa. This is an important distinction we try to make because no one wants more distros (and we agree!)

in reply to Jorge Castro • • •@jorge mmmm we need a better description to call it then
if you don't class it as a distro "custom image" sounds a bit rubbish too
need a good way to describe such a thing in future, but i can't think of something cool right now, will adjust the article now

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐ง๐ฎ • • •Yeah image is a cloud/server term. It's just new on the desktop.
Don't know what other people are going to call it so I'm going with the industry standard on this one. ๐

in reply to Jorge Castro • • •@jorge edited the article to note it ๐
if you come up with a better simple way to name it, let me know lol

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐ง๐ฎ • • •Yeah desktop enthusiasts who aren't used to this are struggling with this one, heh.
Thank you for not calling it immutable -- so we've at least made some progress!
