Ouch, didn't realize the Nvidia build was struggling. Hopefully it gets patched up soon.

If there's a previous commit before the issue is introduced you can pin it and wait to unpin until the issue gets resolved.

Fedora (including Silverblue/Kionite) is hard to recommend as a first distro though. It's an excellent platform when you know your end goal and how to get there, while providing "leading-edge" packages that's great for gaming.

But a project like Bazzite? Phenomenal new user experience for gaming and a very easy recommend.

Yup! Forgot to circle back to this post, but confirmed updated to 6.9.4 and games are no longer crashing.

Stubborn? Windows 11 does not support my older hardware. With no other reason to upgrade, I'm not dropping that kind of cash just for Windows 11.

Regardless, I fully migrated to Linux last year.

Yes, and I love it.

I only use my PC for gaming and web browsing. I mainly stuck with Fedora, but also used Tumbleweed and Nobara. Regardless of which distro I used I was never fully satisfied with the initial setup or upkeep.

  • Fedora was great, but I was hopping around often and there was always a setup process to get Steam and what not installed and set up.

  • Nobara is a great option with gaming tools installed and setup for you. However, it's maintained by a single (awesome) dude and major upgrades often require some manual work arounds.

  • Tumbleweed was great until there were updates. More times than not, updates failed due to repo or dependency issues.

Bazzite, however, is the first (and only, so far) distro where I quite literally install, reboot, launch and log into Steam, start playing games. No other setup steps were required as everything I need is baked into the image. And with the automatic updates there's been no upkeep.

Since installing Bazzite I've had no desire to try anything else, which is great. More time for gaming. 🎮

This is just a heads up for anyone running Bazzite Desktop and using gamemoderun %command% to launch games. Took a bit to figure out why my games were no longer launching. 😅

It's inclusion was an oversight that affected only desktop images. Feral gamemode is completely replaced by the existence of System76 scheduler and joystickawake, both of which require no manual setup on the part of the end user.

You can simply remove that from your launch options.

the customer is tolerating it well

Sure am! It's been over four years since I've had McDonalds (or any other fast food restaurant). Prices are absurd and the food is meh at best.

So basically...

  • CEO claims responsibility.
  • Employees face the consequences.

That tracks.

Most people aren't buying $40k+ cars? Weird.

At least it's not a phone number entry via slider.😤

If you're using KDE, you can go to System Settings > Software Updates and

  1. Set the notification frequency to weekly or monthly to reduce the number of update notifications.
  2. Disable offline updates. This will install updates while you're using the system and you can choose to reboot when/if you want.

Opening Discover will check for updates and, if updates are found, show the tray notification regardless of your notification frequency and when you last updated.

Fedora does roll out updates pretty much daily, which can be annoying, but you can choose what and when to update.

Wife started getting these ads as well. Each time she complains I try to hand her my Linux USB drive.

As a PC gamer without a Steam Deck, this is a welcome enhancement.
