I’m switching my main desktop from popos 20.04 on Hades Canyon to a NUC 13/Nvidia GPU. Since I’m coming from popos, I’m quite used to Gnome. Prevoiusly I had a gaming PC via vfio on promox + parsec. If I want to use the system for both work/productivity (mostly libreoffice/obsidian/console/etc) an…

[image] stateless: Bazzite or Bluefin? It’s my understanding that Bluefin and Bluefin-DX are aimed at development, while Bazzite is high-graded for games, which could also be used for some development work. This is knowledge from the Universal Blue web pages.

I game on Bluefin all the time, I use the steam flatpak. I’m pretty happy with my setup, and it’s also my work machine so I keep it on bluefin:gts which is one cycle back (f39), whereas Bazzite is always on latest, so it’s based on Fedora 40. My HTPC steam machine is Bazzite. So I guess it depends…

Stability is important for a workstation, that’s a good point. Might also come down to UI preference. I’ve never really used KDE, but my short use of Bazzite has been quite good.

I’m also a new user of Bluefin-DX. My laptop is rather new (2024 model) so I have switched to the latest instead of gts. I have installed the stem flatpak and have been pretty happy with occasional gaming…

I rebased safely from aurora-dx to Bazzite to get some Steam and Nvidia stuff working properly (something about my config didn’t like playing select games), but it doesn’t seem like ujust devmode exists in Bazzite, nor a -dx image variant. Is there a “neat” way to get my tools (or at least devcontai…

[image] AshenColors: Is there a “neat” way to get my tools (or at least devcontainer-ready vscode and boxbuddy) back through some sort of layering? I don’t think that transitioning tool exists yet. You will have to do it manually. It is not that hard but bit laborious. I have been able to re…

I run Aurora-DX as my daily driver with steam run out of the bazzite-arch image via distrobox. Steam VR doesn’t work out of steam flatpak, so that wasn’t an option for me, while the full bazzite install produced a large number of issues for me during the initial change over to 40. This approach of…

That’s an interesting idea. Containerise components (steam, etc) needed for gaming. Means you can turn it on when you want to play and turn it off when you need to focus. Any performance issues?

Absolutely none. Benchmarks actually ran (very slightly) better on the bazzite arch VM than native bazzite. I have a fairly beefy rig (Threadripper 7960x, 2x nvlinked 3090 tis, 128 gb of RAM) that has mostly been built for ML/AI shenanigans. That said I’ve been able to run cyberpunk and similar ab…

Boxbuddy is a flatpak so that should run anywhere.

Bluefin prefers integrated GPU for all processes, ignores nvidia GPU
