It's been three years today since Valve released the Steam Deck. Not only has Valve shown how incredible Linux actually can be as a gaming platform, but they really kicked the industry into gear on PC gaming handhelds.

    I have a 3070 ti, I am using Cachy Linux. How do you feel held back? I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m curious about your experience. My experience has been great and I’m confused what the fuss was about. Maybe it’s easier now that Nvidia drivers are open (or at least fauxpen)? Idk.

    Edit: misread as you saying you’re on Linux right now and wanted to use Bazzite, but I think you’re on Windows. The switch from Windows to Linux has been substantially easier than I thought. Happy to answer any questions about it if you’re curious.

        I run Bazzite on a 3070 and it works well. The thing that is not supported yet is the gaming mode that basically turns your pc into steam deck mode as far as I understand it. It would be cool since I run my pc on TV only and mainly game with a controller. What I do is run Steam on startup and set it to start in big screen mode. Until a few weeks ago I used Linux mint and that was much more work with drivers for controllers and stuff. Bazzite is so good so far, seems to be exaxcly my use case for a TV Linux gaming pc.
