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.
Seriously considering a switch to Bazzite on my actual gaming PC.
Me having a RTX3070 is holding me back, though. Maybe AMD will have a decent, not-too-stupidly-expensive card in the 9070XT. Really don’t want to spend more than $500-600 on a GPU. And I really don’t want to replace it until I can get something with at least twice the performance.
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 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.
Dude, I have an i5 8600k with a RTX 3070, using Arch. There is nothing to fear, yes I had issues some time ago when I had the GTX 1080 but not any more. I’m even using Hyprland. Give it a try on another with another disk.

Nvidia GPUs work well on normal Linux distributions. Ubuntu, for example.

My concern is basically the usual “Nvidia hates Linux”.
