@cliophate @gamingonlinux If you're talking about using it on a Steam Deck then the differences are less stark. Because Bazzite is a custom image of Fedora Atomic Desktops it receives updates on drivers and such faster than SteamOS despite it's Arch Linux base.

@cliophate @gamingonlinux If you're talking about other handhelds or HTPCs, you're getting a up to date SteamOS-like experience that aims to take care of all the hardware enablement and gamer stuff under the hood so you don't have to worry about it. We support devices like the ROG Ally and Legion Go. SteamOS isn't available for these, but there are other alternatives out there besides Bazzite like HoloISO.

@cliophate @gamingonlinux And then for desktops you get a solid gamer Linux distro that's packed with all the gamer goodies you need in order to have the best experience you can get out of the box, but on an atomic host system to limit breakage and make system maintenance something you don't have to worry about.

@UniversalBlue sounds good. Thanks for the explanation. I have a few devices lying around on which I could try this, so I’ll dive into it.

How does Bazzite manage TDP settings on something like a ROG Ally or an AYANEO Mini PC (where you’d just set it to max and call it a day)?
