No, I’m still on a nvidia card and I’m not sure what version hdmi my monitor is My comment is more general vibe of my experience with bazzite. similar to what Staff below me said, sometimes it just have some weird inconvenient ways to do things when I need to, for example, use the terminal to look up some folders or change things. idk I admit I’m still not too good doing things in the terminal but adding another layer of having to learn what an immutable distro adds on top seems to be tripping me more.

    I do not have an Nivida card, but I udnerstand Nvidia on bazzite (and linux in general) is tougher than AMD to get things working nicely. As for the terminal, I have never once NEEDED to use to terminal in the last year. I have of course used it to do things, but it was rarely the Only way to do what I was trying to do. Maybe what I am about to say is unpopular, but once I stopped trying to install programs that dont have a flapak from the bazzar store, my life got easier. Of course to counter that statement, I have several programs that are appimages that I control via Gearlevel, then a few windows apps running via faugus. Also if anything tells you to use lutris, it is wrong, lutris imo is crap, and should not be sued ever; Lutris has not worked once for me.

    Staff said a very specific, non-general thing: the approach of installing software. You don’t really need to use the terminal with it unless you want to install some obscure software not available in the built-in flatpak ‘store’. I don’t think Bazzite should be used as an all-purpose distro, it was originally designed as a SteamOS alternative, intended to be installed in Steam Deck / Steam Box style devices. I use it as a living room PC for gaming and watching videos and it works perfectly for this usecase.
