    This right here. Got a Steam Deck. My Surface Pro 4 finally died. So after years of hassling from my best friend, who runs Arch btw, I got a Framework 13 and put PopOS on it. Zero issues, to the point, sadly, where I haven’t really learned to troubleshoot it much yet. We’re gonna install Bazzite on my home theatre PC this weekend when he comes down.

    The only Windows I’m gonna run from here out is on my work PC, and the AI shilling, spyware, and cloud requirements sure ain’t changing my mind.

      Be forewarned, Bazzite has some install issues and can lock up or appear locked up during a painfully long install process. Also, VR support is meh on Bazzite and their immutable distro and managed packages make it more challenging to get non-managed solutions rolling.

      As somebody running Bazzite and loving it on their HTPC, I am looking at switching to CachyOS using the Handheld (SteamOS) Display Environment or launching directly into Kodi.

        Well there’s always dual booting. I’ll consider VR again one of these days, maybe. I early adopted the Oculus Rift way back, but I’ve never had the space for full motion and stuff. Did a fair amount of space travel with it though. That was nice.
