SteamOS-like Bazzite Linux has some nice growth thanks to great handheld PC support

I used Bazzite in both my desktop and the Deck, and very happy with it, although with the recent changes regarding HDR in Wayland and GNOME will probably go back to vanilla fedora on my desktop.

Wish there was this for some of the extinct Spanish magazines too.

The idea is cool, and the box chosen is fantastic for a low-key semi-hidden gaming device.

Will probably end up buying it, and most likely leave it unfinished, like I did with Ghost of Tsushima.

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH broken on Linux with NVIDIA GPUs but works with AMD GPUs like Steam Deck

Damn, I would prefer avoiding having to purchase a new GPU right now and wait for the new architecture next year. But I also want to play FFVII Rebirth :(

EDIT: I'm a horrible consumerist :(

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH broken on Linux with NVIDIA GPUs but works with AMD GPUs like Steam Deck

I have an AMD GPU (AMD Radeon RX 5700) on Bazzite and the game doesn't run. I get the error that I should execute the game without the -dx12 or -d3d12 option.

Putting the below as launch option works a bit better and a screen launches doing some pre-shader loading, but when it finishes another error appears saying the assertion failed, and the games closes.

It might work on the Steam Deck, but on my PC fails to start indicating that I should run the game without the -dx12 option. Apparently the game requires dx12.2 and a lot of people are having issues.

Even with SteamOS coming to more systems Bazzite has no plans to go anywhere

I installed Bazzite over the weekend on my main PC to take advantage of HDR, and very happy so far. Hope it keeps improving!
