[Work to be done] Hi everyone! We wanted to share an update on the future of Bazzite and where we’re headed next. Some of you may have noticed that several of our repositories, such as our kernel and handheld input libraries, have recently been archived or sunset. The change reflects a broader e…

Oh, I’ve heard about swapping HHD for InputPlumber but didn’t know it’s part of a collection of other changes. Is there any particular reason why HHD is being dropped, other than how everyone else uses InputPlumber (which seems like an early-mover issue to me - I recall Bazzite was very early comin…

Bazzite is currently the only project in the entire Linux gaming space shipping HHD in any capacity, and it’s maintainer is no longer a part of this project. Moving away from it unifies everyone even without the OGC in place. Faugus is in testing because it’s been shown to do a much better job than…

Last time I tried SteamOS on my ROG Ally I noticed some functionality that HHD have are missing in InputPlumber, such as Swap ROG and Menu/View. I really like this featuer since the left ROG button doesn’t support long press. Can this feature be estabilshed via InputPlumber?

Would you inform us how could a casual linux user contribute? Do you need testers for example?

Im happy and sad about this, HHD had a PR thats approved and ready for merge that I’ve been waiting for to fix some input issues on my Win 5… I guess that wont happen now and needs porting to input plumber.

Why consider Faugus, which is relatively new, but not native support for Heroic when it’s already quite feature-rich and convenient for GOG and EGS ?

This sounds so cool! Thank you all for your efforts! UniversalBlue is just an amazing conglamorate of distros, love them, since I switched to them.

Really neat idea. I just hope HHD won’t be thrown away before the new system has reasonable feature parity. But again, thank you for your hard work, isn’t easy to coordinate so many distros like this.

Ought to mention that HHD is “Handheld Daemon” somewhere in the annoucement. I had to find out what it meant to know it wasn’t relevant to me!

A brighter future for Bazzite
