There is a better way. Instead of compiling when you launch the game, you can enable background processing of shaders. This will happen while you’re not gaming. If you don’t do other stuff on that computer while you’re not gaming and it is turned off or asleep instead, it might not help.

I had some issues with Bazaar, but it’s easy to switch back to Discover or back to Bazaar.

People think I’m crazy to not claim free games from Epic. I don’t, and won’t even have an account on that cursed platform.

My first attempt at daily driving Linux was Bazzite. I ended up switching to Aurora and I’ve been there ever since. I’m really happy that Bazzite is continuing to grow. All of the Universal Blue OSs are great.

I’ve said this many times here, but I was a Windows fanboy for close to 30 years. I hate that Windows got so bad, but I’m happy that I switched. Linux is great.

User permissions is my biggest gripe with containers. Most other things are so easy once you get the hang of them.

Lord help you if you want to use a non root user in the container and mount any volumes to it.

Bazzite was my first attempt at really daily driving Linux. I ended up on Aurora dev and I don’t have any reasons to move to something different.

The U-Blue OSs really feel like the future to me.

Incredibly cool tech, but it just works.

Those icons are definitely for someone, just not me.

Quadlets are so nice.

I run Rancher Desktop on Windows… But only because my company won’t let me use Linux, and I only use it for Dev and testing.

All that to say, I have no idea why else you would be running a container engine on a Windows host.

I bought a $40 500gb Crucial NVME just a week ago.

Installing things on OSs like Bazzite is different. It never hurts to head over to the Discord if you’re having issues.

Hell yeah!

The official stance is that it is not supported. That doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to do it.

As long as you have a spare drive for it, it works great. It does not support dual boot on a single drive.

But SSDs are dirt cheap these days.

Gamepass is Windows only. One of the very few things (gaming wise) that doesn’t work on Linux.

Gaming really benefits from up to date kernels. So Ubuntu just isn’t a good choice for that.

I started on Bazzite but transitioned to Aurora for my personal PC and wife’s laptop. God I wish I could use it for work. I’m forced to use Windows or Mac.

Joke’s on you, Jorge. I use U-Blue just for the great general purpose desktop experience.

He’s not talking about Bazzite, though. Bluefin and Aurora are built from the same cloud tech as Bazzite, but are more focused towards devs, specifically devs who use containers.
