Idk if I like bazzite or not. I started my Linux change around 5 months ago I think. Started with cachy os. I think it was going fine but something slowly broke so I changed to bazzite 2 months ago I think. The fun part is it’s quick to just distro hop. I have my backups all okay so that helps a lot. When everything works both was working fine and easy I feel. But when something starts to get wonky, I’m kind of struggling a bit more with bazzite due to the atomic nature. Idk that’s just the vibe I’m feeling.

I installed it but left soon enough. Weird, inconvenient ways of installing software. Many workarounds built in. I like the idea of immutable distro but this seemed like an accumulation of fixes on top of it.

Were you using an AMD graphic card with HDMI 2.1 connection to a monitor/TV? Because it happened to me that the HDMI connection stopped working for me with a Bazzite update, and I had to downgrade to Bazzite 44.20260802 (see the Github ticket here), which seems to be the last stable release without the problem. My understanding is that the problem is still present in Bazzite 45… and it likely won’t be resolved until the next Kernel update (7.3.1) lands. The good news is that I expect this would be by the end of this month, since it’s already being tested in the unstable branch, as far as I understand.

Can I ask about your experience with Cachy? I just finished my first pc build and went with bazzite for gaming, but have been toying with the idea of running Cachy instead
