RE: I've spoken with some of the devs about ROG Ally support and there's still work to be done to fully support the device. There's still work to be done as it supposedly needs a specific kernel, a utility for those two extra buttons, and other stuff. That said there will be a separate ROG Ally version of Bazzite in the future. No fully determined release date though.
They've fixed most of the problems you said in this video. HOLY MOLY IT'S AMAZING! Thanks for showing it in video! I love how far the steam deck community have came and it's still going. I love this community.
I've been playing around with uBlue Bazzite for a few months now... Main strength of Bazzite-Deck is the ability for it to act like a standard linux distro when in desktop mode. It's just normal fedora-kinoite under the hood. Also because of this it'll work really well on normal pc hardware too. If all you do on your deck is game, then I probably wouldn't recommend it. It's more for those that also want to play around with linux.
thanks for talking about this, i'll look forward to installing this when i upgrade my steam deck's internal storage (i got the 64gb model, which doesn't work on bazzite due to an upstream issue atm)
From what I've seen of this OS from this video and your previous one it looks pretty good. I don't think its worth it for me to overwrite my Steam Deck with this as I'm pretty satisfied woth how i have things set up and don't want to go through the trouble of setting things up to my liking for a 3rd time. (Had to redo everything when i upgraded to my 2tb SSD.) But i might try this on my laptop. I'd love to have a Steam Deck like experience on my other devices especially when all i do on it is gaming.
not sure if you've tried this yet, but could you test bazzite on the ROG Ally or the other x86 handhelds? I'm aware it's still a work in progress but it'd be interesting to see a video on it's current state
Works wonderfully on my nitro 5 gaming laptop and allows me to use emudeck on both my steamdeck and laptop using a 5tb drive. I cant recommend bazzite enough tbh
It's not sketchy. It's not working well for most people. Bazzite needs some very serious bugs fixed. I get a black screen on second boot, which is likely either a login issue, storage issue, display server issue, or a graphics driver issue, or a combination of those issues. I'm currently trying to eliminate the possibilities on my Deck as I type this.
I want to install bazite on my steam deck but the fact i have to backup everything by hand and go to each individual proton container is just a pain, but i woudp def love to try bazzite. And yea i dual boot windows too, i don't think bazite supports dual boot yet.
Same here. I'm happy with steam OS but I love Linux in general and Bazzite looks so damn good. But I don't want the hassle of having to backup everything on my Steam Deck... And also I'm afraid that because bazzite is non-official / community driven, Steam OS will get more frequent updates and get much better overtime.. Also the new features that Valve will push to the Steam Deck will probably arrive first on the Steam OS and later be ported to other distros (if at all) such as bazzite...
I got all the features from cryo utilities to work and show up there the app but it don’t work as be. For the functions that work apply those. For the swap it becomes a partition that you don’t need to adjust but I added a second partition on my sad and set the priority. Then all the memory setting for the most part need to be set manually as well but if you play with it you can get them up and running. Make sure to restart your system before double checking everything and you can confirm them buy using cryo to an extent as well. All my setting are in the green
Oh, this is a year old now which i was wondering why everything looked different to the build i am using now which looks exactly as the steam deck OS (Also RUclips was recommending me this video) which another thing is that i never understand is why use Bazzite on the steam deck to begin with.
I installed Bazzite on my ROG Ally recently. I had to roll it back to windows due to frequent freezes mid game. The decky loader and simple tdp plugin also seems to cause issues. Usually before the game freeze it will become progressivly slower until it hits 1 fps and then eventually just halts needing a hard boot to fix it. Very big pitty because i its an awesome OS.
i just dual boot my Steamdeck and seeing this just today I just missed the opportunity to try it out.. Btw Bazzite cannot be dual/multi boot bec of how certain things are mounted.
Bazitte dose work well as steam is pre installed. It uses flat packs that run here and you cant use other repository like Debian. The shocker is memory the drive usage is non existent due to butter FS.
Those are some very informative videos. The only thing that it leaves me asking is, can you install from source on it? That's always been my big complaint about steamos is I can't get anything to install from source. Don't know if you tried it tho?
There's 2 versions of Bazzite. There's the desktop versions (Called Main & Nvidia), you can use these on any GPU, however it lacks support for game mode so it basically just recreates SteamOS's desktop mode. The Steam Deck image works on AMD GPU's, however TDP and whatever doesn't work, which is to be expected, but gamemode and all that jazz does.
@@ang3lomig it seems if you have an AMD GPU you have the choice of both the Desktop and the Steam Deck image on your PC to get access to Game Mode, Decky, Emudeck, etc. but if you have Nvidia (or maybe even Intel, but I'm not sure) then you only have the option to use the Nvidia Desktop image.
Unfortunately nothing supports EA AC outside of Windows. EA has the ability to make it work on Linux and SteamOS, they just refuse to for whatever reason.
This is for those who felt SteamOS was limited in some form (can't print, can't install native packages without it being a hassle, waydroid isn't preinstalled, etc.) and who want to preview the new features of SteamOS without the unstable mess of SteamOS preview/main channels. It also runs on other hardware which is kind of neat. Desktop images seem to be a nice Linux gaming setup out of the box (replicates desktop mode on deck) and Steam Deck images can be installed on AMD hardware to replicate a SteamOS experience with Game Mode and all of that.

Very helpful video appreciate the effort. There seems to be missing audio in your outro though.
Great vid! Long enough to make the points without getting boring. Perfection, thanks for that.

Swapped to Nobara Steam Deck version on my two gaming rigs and I’m in love.

If I've got the time I'll definitely consider it. I've only got the ROG Ally.

You appear to be the only channel on RUclips talking about bazzite and that makes me feel like there's something sketchy going on.

If it's an OLED Deck then Bazzite still has issues to sort out. This video predates the OLED's release.
welp, installed bazzite on my laptop to familiarize myself well with it... it ain't half bad. and yes I mostly want the BTRFS compression too!
Not sure what's up with the soundtracks, they work on my end so hopefully I'm able to find a way to reproduce it
Am I the only one that noticed audio being much louder and clearer on Bazzite compared to SteamOS?

Is any benefits between this and Chimera? I'm currently on ChimeraOS on my HX99G and thinking about changing but still on the fence about it.

Swap doesn't work because Bazzite doesn't use it by default, it uses ZRAM.
Oh, this is a year old now which i was wondering why everything looked different to the build i am using now which looks exactly as the steam deck OS (Also RUclips was recommending me this video) which another thing is that i never understand is why use Bazzite on the steam deck to begin with.
How come nobody mentioned the 5 minute shader cache everytime i play a game on bazzite with my legion go 😮
Benchmarks Vs steamos would be cool
this
I want to try this, to see if a up-to-date OS can fix my WiFi issues but 64GB ...

How does this compare to Chimera OS
Really interested if this could work with eGPU's. They're the only reason I'm not rushing out to buy a new handheld.
Are you talking about other handhelds running Bazzite? I wish I could tell you. I haven't got an eGPU setup.
That said I *could* ask around.
@HiTechLoLife Would be pretty cool. I genuinely think GPU docked handhelds could be the future of gaming.
do you have to have a keyboard? I'm thinking about trying it out but I don't have one at the moment.
Unfortunately yes, you do need one for the time being because you need to type in your WIFI password.
There is an offline installer coming.
@@HiTechLoLife thank you for the respond 🙏
do you notice any issue with wifi not detecting 5ghz networks?
Nope
If this was Debian based I'd jump asap, I'm just not a fan of redhat or its derivatives. PopOS! with handheld focused tweaks would almost be ideal
Need that waydroid update vid when the version comes
@HiTechLoLife Works Steam Deck speakers and mic correctly?
I’m switching because I want the latest drivers
Hired the switch been? Thinking of switching for the same reason
Time to go test the ROG Ally thanks
Does bazzite have input lag improvements? Elden Ring is unplayable for me on steam os because of the input lag
I would try enabling the "allow tearing" setting in the QAM.
@@HiTechLoLife I already have it on but still unbearable. I think it's just an elden ring issue
I feel like Linux users really cant help themselves sometimes and eventually distro hop out of every single device they use. LOL.
N-no
-Sincerely an ex distrohopper.
I must be hallucinating. Are you saying butterfs?
Could you test it on rog ally please?
Tysm fit this video
also posted a video in a fb steam group post legit talking about the os
Another con is lack of compatibility for rEFInd and Clover.
You actually can. The developer of Clover himself has set it up.

Can you make a video on nobara linux on steam deck
On bazzite is possible to instal caribean games thank you friends ..
How do I install this on my Ayaneo 2? I just get a blank screen after the boot menu.
Unfortunately I don't have an Aya Neo 2 so I don't exactly know what the issue could be. I'd potentially refer this over to the developers.
Software updates run incredibly slow for me in bazzite.
The software update option in Game Mode was also modified to also update flatpaks too.
doesn't seem worth making steam updates take 20 minutes but I get it
some one please tell me how many times he said bazzite in this video
Has anyone put bazzite on their desktop PC or laptop yet?
I personally haven't but I think the devs definitely do.

But what is better.
Does this OS support EA Anti Cheat?
Unfortunately nothing supports EA AC outside of Windows.
EA has the ability to make it work on Linux and SteamOS, they just refuse to for whatever reason.
If it works on SteamOS, it works on Bazzite.
Can we access Gamepass using Bazzite ?
no
So what is the point of this update? Steam OS does all things you need and Bazzite struggles to replicate?
This is for those who felt SteamOS was limited in some form (can't print, can't install native packages without it being a hassle, waydroid isn't preinstalled, etc.) and who want to preview the new features of SteamOS without the unstable mess of SteamOS preview/main channels.
