The Ally on the other had was already fairly to mostly useless with WIN11 installed so moving to Bazzite might be considered an improvement.

Could you explain what made/makes it so useless?

While I'm happy to see that some others have had success with Bazzite and other Linux distro's for gaming, most of my boxes will remain WIN-Boxes for now.

My fairly useless Asus Ally may of faired the best with Bazzite however 3 different systems with 3 different Nvidia GPU's were gimped to almost unplayable states even after 'jumping though hoops'.

Given those same systems performed perfectly well on WIN10 I reverted them back to that until such time that ether WIN10 no longer works for me or that Nvidia drivers on Linux perform as well as under Windows.

They surely p*** some people off with that, and Linux generally.

How so? After googling the only thing I could find related was their mascot. Aside from that, they're not pushing anything or taking sides in any agenda here.

Besides, bazzite is only advertised because of it's easy of use and well supported. There are many other distros if the mascot upsets you that much. I'm sure you can change app stores too or blacklist certain repositories where the content is deemed offensive to you as well.

QuoteAs more Windows critics install Bazzite on their gaming PCs

Yeah sure... and recently they've started to uninstall it again, as Bazzite forces LGBTQ+ on them because of its Appstore having "Pride-Themes" only. What a trash-distro ...

That is why it's idiotic when people on Youtube, Computerbase, PCGamesHardware etc. advertise and recommend random distributions to users because "gaming distro". They surely p*** some people off with that, and Linux generally.

"Nevertheless, regardless of hardware, the OS still can't boot games that depend on anti-cheat software."

You already convinced me. No need to convince me more!

As more Windows critics install Bazzite on their gaming PCs, they are enjoying top-end performance. In new GPU benchmarks, Gamers Nexus confirmed that high frame rates are achievable on the Linux OS. Still, Nvidia graphics cards suffered from uneven scores compared to their AMD counterparts.
