  • Yeah my Bazzite definitely doesn’t auto launch Steam. I think that might be an option during setup?

    I installed it in a VM and after installation Steam launched. Didn’t check if that persists after several reboots. Why would I?

    Then I tried Aurora and with the exception of a Terminal app in Plasma’s quick launch panel and no gaming launchers installed, it’s pretty much the same thing, so might just as well recommend Aurora instead of Bazzite if the person in question doesn’t care much about gaming. It’s the workstation variant of Universal Blue.








  • Just FYI in case you don’t know - SteamOS has changed and is now based on Arch, which means Bazzite is still fundamentally different.

    Both are immutable distributions, meaning software installation via Flatpak and Distrobox is exactly the same.

    System-level differences are mostly irrelevant which is a fundamentally different approach from Ubuntu, Mint, etc. where users are expected to juggle with PPAs to get newer drivers on their ancient Ubuntu LTS base.
