If Linus were to visit Mount Everest, he’d reach base camp, spend the next day criticizing the sherpas, calling them foolish for taking the well-established path, and insisting that a direct line to the summit is obviously the best option.
Bazite has solid onboarding, hardware support (including Nvidia and AMD), and, dare I say, even printer support. All things he complains about in this video. But then again, what do I know? I’m just a sherpa.
I have dual boot available (win10 - bazzite/gnome/nvidia) and haven’t had to boot the win10 partition since the first week I set up the bazzite one.
I have very few problems, just intermittent weird graphics glitches after waking from suspend. Occasionally for whatever reason the 2 monitors I have plugged into the RTX 4070 will rapidly flip between joined (ie two separate displays) to mirroring display 1 on display 2, and sometimes flashing a black screen on display 2. The 3rd screen plugged into the mobo rarely gets involved in whatever is going on.
I think that’s possibly a Wayland / nVidia thing but is extremely rare to happen on a fresh boot so has been pretty easy to workaround.
The only Windows thing I miss is the VoiceMeeter audio mixing app from VB-Audio which was far superior to anything i’ve found so far that I can get working on bazzite. One thing about the linux audio that really annoys me is how each time some audio plays - eg every next youtube video its on a new audio stream and ignores the previous volume level I had set. But very first world problems :)
