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 literally started downloading the Bazzite installer on my PC just before heading out to work - will be installing it on a spare NVME and seeing how it goes tonight hopefully!
Bazzite does have a Nvidia-specific build, I’ll report back in a day or two how I go with my 3090.
I’m using a 3080 and I do seem to have the occasional problem that my ATI using friends don’t, nothing that has prevented me from playing.
Example: Recently, gamescope hasn’t been working. So I’ve been using xwayland instead. Basically I don’t get HDR or VRR, but it’ll be fixed (it may already be fixed because I’m on a rolling release distro (Arch, btw)).
I haven’t, yet, run into a ‘This game doesn’t work because you have an NVIDIA card’. On the other hand, I can run local AI trivially easy because my card supports CUDA.
