Asked for feedback on what to bake into Bazzite and Bluefin

Some of the results from the Bazzite survey that do not depend on anyone upstream outside of the Universal Blue project:

  • Better installer that has the option to install the OS offline (which will eventually happen soon)
  • Developer focused images (coming soon as bazzite-dx images)
    • Development also being gaming focused (including specifics to web games)
  • COSMIC desktop environment image
  • The implementation of unl0kr for easier encryption/decryption of your drive (Keyboard-less encryption support)
  • Even better handheld PC support (ROG Ally & Legion Go, simplify the experience with 1 ujust command instead of multiple for each decky plugin)
    • Also a ujust command for a specific fan curve for a certain handheld
  • Better integration with containers (Distrobox/Toolbx) [This thread shows off what’s to come]
    • Pre-installed default container
    • Keyboard shortcuts to enter the default container
    • Guidance with containers (cheat sheet outside of documentation from webpages)
  • Changelogs visible outside of a ujust command and external resources (Discourse announcements/newsletters, Github, & website)
    • Perhaps an application that shows the output of ujust changelogs command for Game Mode
  • Options for network post-install configurations like a toggle to enable different DNS servers
  • Wake-On-Lan support for network streaming
  • zram-swap size is too small
  • More battery optimizations
  • ARM support (volunteers are welcome!)
  • Squash remaining bugs and stability (some of these issues may fall under upstream or due to hardware quirks and drivers)
  • “Powerwash” feature (revert Bazzite to stock without using flashing the ISO, also in the Universal Blue roadmap)
  • Transparency about the project’s state and more up-to-date disclosure of major existing issues on download page, website, and Github README
  • Easier for new Linux users who are used to Windows/macOS/etc.
  • Auto-mounting drives could be easier (upstream, but I should finish the guide once I figure out the most universal method for this :smile:)
  • Better documentation for forking Bazzite

A few feedback comments are out of our control of the project. (Steam/Gamescope, desktop environments, upstream applications, Fedora, OCI, OSTree, etc.)
