I’ve been running bazzite and the experience has honestly been phenomenal. The biggest upside for me is getting to use gnome but there’s lots of other little benefits. Getting access to the most recent updates for the kernel and mesa is super nice. The different cpu scheduler mixed with gnome’s higher performance over the kde 5 series has got to take the cake though. Using desktop mode has been silky smooth compared to stock. That said game mode has no massive differences.

I've installed it after seeing this post.
Honestly I don't regret it and there is nothing to miss from SteamOS. Also I like the idea that Bazzite aims to support home theaters as well as other PC-based handheld consoles.
Feature wise - it's awesome. <3
Bazzite simply kills the argument "Steam Deck is better than any other handheld with Windows because of SteamOS features". Thanks to Bazzite, SteamOS is "available" for more than Steam Deck.
I was using bazzite pre 3.5 release and it was very cool. It can make sense for users that spend a lot of time in desktop mode and linux already. Though i wouldnt suggest it for everyone.
Switching back to steam os is relatively painless.
HOLY SHIT. I did not know that bazzite existed in the first place!
Thanks for showing me bazzite. It looks really good. When https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/464 is resolved and I've got some energy I will definitely try it out.
