May I start a new thread and everyone that has some media coverage about any Universal Blue related info is posted in this thread (or moderators merge into this thread): > **[Bazzite is the next best thing to SteamOS while we wait on Valve](https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/10/bazzite-is-a-wonderful-steamos-ish-port-for-lots-of-non-valve-handhelds/)** > > Getting a SteamOS-like experience on handhelds like the ROG Ally used to mean lots of tweaking.

I looked on [Framework laptop web page for laptops](https://frame.work/si/en/products/laptop13-diy-intel-ultra-1?tab=linux) and interesting at the _Compatible community supported_ there are _Project Blufin_ and _Bazzite_ listed. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/univeral_blue/original/2X/7/7339a76ec148b4958d630f7aacfc3403b2620451.png) It is great info there are listed as supported systems. Interesting (nitpicking) is that at “Bluefin” there is word “Project” and there is no visible notion this projects are correlated (branding issue?), except this is intentional to not “market” those two systems as “sister projects”, because there are intended for different audience. ---

Bazzite mentioned by LTT channel (timestamp 2:00) PS - look at how he explains “immutable” to a normie (timestamp 13:40) in the Desktop Mode chapter: “It’ll reset itself when you reboot”.
