Bazzite is an alternative OS to SteamOS for the deck and other handheld PCs. Unfortunately due to a mistake, anyone who installed Bazzite before July 3rd 2024 won’t get automatic updates.
If this affects you, I’d suggest checking out the article to get instructions on fixing it.
Is there a benefit in using it over the default OS?
It has all the advantages of steamOS, can boot straight into game mode, supports Decky plugins, etc.
However it also supports installing traditional Linux programs permanently (which steam OS generally won’t let you do), and has other benefits too.
Does it also have the power-limiting features?
Yes and they apply while the device is off too.
Including the xone kernel driver for proprietary Xbox dongles is quite nice
(you can connect Xbox gamepads via bluetooth but that will often times give you a higher input lag for Xbox pads anyway)
Their GitHub has everything you’d want to know.
Build Bazzite | failingI guess so.That really doesn’t mean much.
Unless you’re planning on building from latest source, that info isn’t for you.
I forgot my /s

main one for me is installing software from distro repos that aren’t in flatpak and having it persist through updates.
