I had an old computer lying around, so yesterday set up a steam os thing with bazzite and will be selling my ps5.
Honestly, I think if they marketed things like this more, there could be a lot more Linux penetration. A lot of us have old hardware sitting around, and bazzite seems to run as well as my ps5 and definitely runs games better than windows (with the exception of choppiness on my HDMI audio, but already have a cheap toslink interface inbound)
Bazzite shit the bed when I tried it, regular people would need to get lucky with their hardware configuration.
What issue did you have? If you're using AMD, shouldn't be an issue, and how long ago did you try it?
7900XTX back in January. I didn't see any error, it would just boot to a black screen. I tried the install several times and I've been distro hopping for decades, so I don't think it's a simple pebcak.
Actually. My controllers disappeared today in bazzite and won't connect back . I might switch to a standard distro 😂
Bazzite has a thing about dual boots if you were trying that.
