I do agree with antheas that the IWD change was too early. My laptop (which has Intel wifi) is fine but my desktop (Realtek WIFI) always disconnects sporadically since the update. Seems that IWD causes issues for non-Intel cards specifically. A lot of other people on the discord reported losing or worse wifi functionality after this update

Quoting: tpauOften you have hardware that has no or just out of tree drivers, so i welcome any concerted effort to change that.
Gaming critical software for me also includes wine, wine-staging, umu, proton, LACT, coolercontrol, DXVK, VKD3D , Mangohud, Goverlay, LinuxGamingBenchmark,CapFrameX,Heroic-Launcher, Lutris, Playnite, VR-Stuff , OBS,OpenRazer, OpenRGB and more besides the drivers.

I agree, while I could just use Fedora Kionite and customize that, I can't really be bothered to do that when someone else already has done the hard work for me. When I'm tired after a long work week, I just want to play games and have a reliable working OS, and Bazzite provides just that.

Quoting: The_Real_Bitterman"Reduce duplicate efforts", "replacing Lutris with fagus launcher" ... Nobody forced them not to use Flatpaks...

This really sounds like a self inflicted issue caused by point-releases and their cravings to package everything downstream instead. Then call it a win to form an organization to fix what they caused themselves...

I mean nobody prohibited them to push their modifications to the mainline kernel even before.

While I also came to learn that all these "gaming tweaks" and "optimisations" usually don't deliver any real differences or significant improvements over something not having these "gaming optimisations".

Flatpak launchers have many issues including gamescope/scopebuddy not working and using their own outdated Mesa, as well as being affected by the Nvidia Flatpak driver issues, this is why a built in launcher is greatly preferred

Quoting: artworkThe page of the device states the following:

The advantages of Bazzite Desktop Edition include: being developed by technical experts from renowned companies such as Microsoft, Ubuntu, Intel, Amazon, and Red Hat. It supports not only AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards but also Intel ARC+. With its Cloud Native architecture, even if updates cause software package corruption, users can roll back to any Bazzite version released within the past 90 days.

After that, the website presents a screenshot (not HTML) of Bazzite Linux distribution contributors, though the first expression it raised is that these contributors are of this device and not the distribution ^^"

And the list of contributors still features the recently suspended one🤮 Well done GPD

Quoting: ArehandoroWas Mesa 26 the one that was going to also bring a tone of improvements to Indiana Jones? I wanted to play it soon.

yes, it fixes the insane stuttering that drops fps down to the tens in most areas of he game

my problem with Canonical is that they actively harm the Flatpak ecosystem. Kubuntu used to ship the flatpak backend, but Canonical got really angry at that and it got ripped out in favor of snaps. Requiring users to do an extra steps to install flatpaks is not user friendly at all

Snap needs to just die imo. Flatpak is the future! 😇

Last I checked (must've been around a year ago) there was still a pretty huge performance hit, especially when running PT. Indiana Jones & the Great Circle with Supreme settings and full PT ran at 30fps for me in Linux, but 45fps in Windows on 7900 XT. Portal RTX was basically unplayable in Linux as soon as you got to the room where you get shot at. Now I got rid of Windows a few days ago so I can't really check how it is now, but it's nice to see continued improvements to RT performance
