SteamOS-like Linux package Bazzite 2.0 is out now for Steam Deck and desktop

After reading this article I decided to give this a try as it seems really good compared to SteamOS in many respects, here are some early thoughts:

Pros:

- Waydroid works with tinkering, first time I actually get that to work. Tbf, my desktop is nVidia. It however broke after a reboot
- Excellent out-of-box experience for new users, far better than SteamOS (imo)
- I used the GNOME version which I assumed would be better for a touch-based experience, it worked pretty well

Cons:
- Uses the Fedora installer (an online version) so I had to set up a dock with keyboard and USB to install, wasn't too hard but not optimal
- Comes with Lutris pre-installed, not a fan since I don't use it but it's okay
- Weird issues with bluetooth pairing, couldn't get my Keychron to connect to it at all
- Over USB, keyboard kept disconnecting intermittently

I'm currently reinstalling SteamOS on my Deck and going back to the Preview branch, but Bazzite is very fun and interesting and I'll likely give it another go after a few updates have been pushed.

Just thought I'd drop a note to mention that WWE 2K23 works out of the box (using Proton Experimental) with absolutely no issues and at 60FPS@10W.

It was the reason I got the bundle this month 😂.
