  • I also play games on this system, so having newer kernel and Mesa versions help.

    I guess I’m that guy in this thread constantly bringing up his current distro of choice lol… But have you tried Bazzite? From what I understand it’s basically Kinoite but built with gaming in mind.

    If you have, I’d be curious as to what differences there were between it and Kinoite…



  • I loved EndeavourOS, but I’m just not sure bleeding edge is for me. Mostly because I will forget to update for a week, and suddenly there are 500 updates, all with interconnected dependencies and pacman is just like “wtf dude?”

    I’m not sure I really gained any benefit from that over using a more stable release. I switched to Bazzite a few months back, and it’s been amazing. Immutable is very interesting, and it’s made for the most stable PC I’ve ever owned.

    Highly recommend Bazzite for gamers (or I guess it’s good for multimedia too), or if not, one of the other Fedora-based immutable distros.



  • I’ve been using Bazzite for a few months now (switched from EndeavourOS, which was great) and it’s been amazing. I’m sold on atomic/immutable. I have never had a PC this stable, including every Windows PC I’ve had.

    And it’s perfect for gaming. There are weird little tweaks and settings that I had to do on EOS to get my GPU working correctly, etc., and they all just work out of the box in Bazzite (I did get the iso image made specifically for my laptop, which definitely helps). It’s super impressive actually.

    And distrobox (BoxBuddy comes installed) can be used to access the AUR or whatever if I feel the need to. Just fire up an Arch box, and have at it.
