@pleasereadthemanual, random user comments don't line up with the history of Bazzite.

As Kyle Gospodnetich said in reply:

There’s some revisionist history going on here. While we did experiment early on with containerizing Steam, this was only done on Desktop images. We dropped it completely because it has numerous unfixable problems that make it a bad experience. At no point did this power the gamemode session images of Bazzite because it can’t, for the same reasons the Flatpak can’t, and the gamemode session images are 2/3rd of our users.

I wasn't saying other distros should do it, just that Valve wouldn't take notice unless some other major players did.

Flatpak Steam has a whole bunch of its own issues and is not supported by Valve, it's not a direct replacement.

@Salvatos, that was the demo, it's out now.

@Nagezahn, it's node-based programming. But not "coding" in the traditional writing lines sense.

I would go by the date listed on Prime Gaming directly. I think what they meant by that is simply that Prime Day starts July 8th, and these were added for extra in the lead up to it.

@Eike, the Native Linux build is still the default on desktop Linux.

@Phlebiac, I do wonder if they will ever look to either actually fix that Linux filter, or just remove it now.

@Nocifer, there's no change to how that's handled. It's the same as before, with it only affecting titles that have not gone through deck/steamos verification. Because naturally Valve want to keep that unless you manually force it individually.

Because Valve want a solution that works across platforms. MangoHud is already noted in the article for use now.
