To harm a competitors stock prices more than they are paying out

All of that coping and seething Toyota's CEO has been doing about electric cars sure does look stupid right now.

We're aware of it, it's just complicated and directly related to kernel differences between Valve's heavily modified 6.1 and Fedora's 6.6/soon to be 6.7

This release lays the groundwork since it's the first one with a fully custom kernel. In addition updates will be coming faster for the foreseeable future. A lot was held back due to us working on maintaining secure boot support when switching kernels.

Preview of the next release, need to fix an issue with Xbox controller detection and then we'll add it to the Bazzite Portal for anyone to easily use.

And yes, the SteamOS keyboard works!

Only missing feature compared to SteamOS 3.6 is HDR, we're waiting for Fedora to land it in stable rather than port all of that from SteamOS.

And then of course there's a ton of features we add that SteamOS doesn't have. We build from stable Fedora and keep our patches minimal so the intent is for Bazzite to be as stable.

ublue is entirely OCI images built on immutable Fedora, think of them as Fedora plus a recipe on top.

The main difference, and what got me to start this project, is that you can layer on packages. This means no more dealing with disabling read-only and losing your changes every time you update.

Besides that, this incorporates a huge number of community made features such as SDGyroDSU and Discover Overlay OOTB, a newer kernel than even SteamOS 3.6, DisplayLink support, Nvidia support (on desktop), and so on.

It's essentially become an immutable/atomic gaming spin on Fedora, with full support for the deck.

If you need RPM Firefox, my recommendation is that you install it with Distrobox. This also solves the security issue that we remove upstream Firefox over - update frequency.

You don't want Firefox to only update when your operating system image does. As far as I'm concerned the bug preventing Firefox from being re-added is a feature.

Screenshots are on the GitHub, https://bazzite.gg/

There's a KDE and GNOME version, the deck release has gamemode and Valve's KDE themes/similar themes for GNOME. It's functionally identical.

The installer will even offer to set up EmuDeck and Decky Loader for you.

It's for anybody, incredible tool.

We build twice a week, that's not frequent enough for a web browser.

Ultimately it's saving you from yourself, if this bug gets fixed and there's a way I can unfix it, I will do so.

As evidenced by: this article

Oh wait

It can, but I wouldn't recommend doing it for long

I opted for Lutris because Bottles has issues that make it unrecommendable and unsupportable by us.

Because it's only shipped as a flatpak (They bullied the Fedora packager until they quit) it doesn't support the frame limiter built into gamescope on the deck images (Requires a patch in Mesa).

As a contributor to the Northstar mod for Titanfall 2, we originally wanted to recommend it as the default Linux install path due to it's friendly UI, but found because it avoids using winetricks it's missing required dependencies. Despite us trying to work with them and contributing code, to this day it still doesn't work, and recent discussions about this problem were extremely abrasive from their side, much like the above linked issue.

Ultimately Lutris provides a more consistent experience for gamers that are already used to Steam - with the same tools working for both. That's my reasoning anyway.

As far as wine, we only install wine-core and not the entire stack, that's purely for Lutris dependency reasons and isn't intended to be used by the end user. Wine-ZGUI for instance is a Flatpak, and Lutris will install its own copy of wine - most likely Wine-GE or a derivative.

We remove Firefox because having it on the image is a security hazard. You want your browser to update more often than your operating system.

We prefer the flatpak, but if for some reason you need the RPM I would suggest installing it with distrobox.

Distrobox updates automatically on Bluefin and Bazzite.

In this case we disagree with Fedora, Atomic Fedora should not have Firefox in image. It does not matter to us what they do, we explicitly remove it.

If you like the way Fedora builds their Firefox RPM, that's all the more reason for you to use a fedora distrobox.

I shutdown my laptop every day and update every day. That is fine for me.

Irrelevant. Not everybody does. Some people pin an old image due to a bug and sit on a far older image. If you had it your way, they'd be using a week or month old build of Firefox -- that's unacceptable.

Removing Firefox prevents people from reinstalling it

Good. I can promise you if that gets fixed and I have a way to continue to prevent it, I will.

Flatpak Firefox does not have the ability to create user namespaces for tab process isolation. This is due to all Flatpaks using the same badness-enumerating seccomp filter, there is no additional hardening possible and they still block userns creation.

This is an issue for Mozilla. They are happy enough with the state of the Flatpak to not only verify it, but list it on their website. Unless you've got a CVE for the Flatpak version of Firefox I don't see any point in even engaging with this argument.

Can they bring back making games worth playing first?

Your use case works

The testing build of Bazzite should have everything in your bottom link and more ;)

Should support both, but there's an upstream kernel bug at the moment that can cause certain RDNA GPUs to lock at the lowest clock speed at certain resolutions and refresh rates. Just something to look out for

It's layered into the image like any other rpm. Standard steam package you'd install in Workstation.

For me it's foldables, those have come a long way in a short time and I find them to be very compelling.

Once they perfect it though it's going to be back to the same stale shit.

Hopefully won't be a very long wait for that, red hat is really pushing for HDR right now.

Late reply but all of this has been fixed, sorry for the headache.

Just make sure it's mounted in fstab, same as any other distro. If it's a permanent drive I would mount it to /var/mnt/ChangeMe

I can do that without Windows and most of my games run better on Linux. Best is very subjective.

Speaking on Bazzite, KDE is our default to match SteamOS, but we put more effort into the GNOME release if anything due to us trying to maintain feature parity with Valve's KDE, including being able to right click and add to steam, use the desktop nested, enable VRR, add custom themes based on the ones Valve shipped, and add the steam deck wallpapers ported to GNOME.

That being said, GE's points about GNOME are very real, and they have a lot of catching to do in regards to gaming. KDE has DRM Leasing, VRR and HDR right now.

We stopped doing this a few versions ago, main reason was inconsistency between the deck and desktop branches, since deck needs to be properly layered due to it essentially being a desktop environment.

Additionally, we're not able to offer HDR or steam input with Wayland through distrobox. That being said, bazzite-arch remains a distrobox image with real utility for other use cases and we continue to maintain it.

They all try to share patches and ideas too, if there's competition - it's friendly.

We (ublue) remove Firefox and install the flatpak because you want your browser to update when it needs to update, and not only when your OS image updates.

Those we leave alone, they're really only meant as a base for other images anyway.

Not being able to relayer it is a good thing in this case, you don't want the browser to have any limits on when it can update.

If you need something other than the flatpak, I would recommend installing it in a Fedora distrobox and exporting it.

We solve this problem by treating distroboxes as cattle and not as pets. Blow them away at any time.

Which btw also include the Fedora Flathub repository.

We no longer touch the repos as Fedora is now in agreement with using Flathub.

You start to sound like a GrapheneOS dev. It makes no sense to prevent users from reinstalling removed packages.

It's for user security. I have no interest in debating this decision, my reasons are outlined.

No the article you are replying to, lay off the crack.
