    I’ve heard lovely things about Bazzite with Steam.

    However I have only run Steam on Ubuntu and Linux Mint, where it ran flawlessly.

    I think the Linux Mint workflow of “click on software center”, “search for steam”, “click install” - is hard to beat.

      Well, Bazzite has it pre-installed, but that’s the experience for other stuff lol.

      I don’t recommend mint for newbies because it comes with X11 even still.

          Bazzite has closed source software preinstalled? Yikes

          I get the sentiment. That said, if you want to do “gaming”, there’s no way around proprietary software for the time being, since both titles and some drivers are and will continue to be proprietary.

          Regardless, running some FOSS is already better than none. So if Bazzite helps wean people off proprietary Windows, why not?

          Probably more like it automatically installs is when you install the system but yeah.

          This isn’t Debian. It has a live image that comes with Nvidia drivers so you can have these from the start too.
