That sounds +exciting! +Would you be interested in a distro that is tailored for Linux gaming? + +If yes, then we have just the thing for you. + +Bazzite is a new Fedora-based distro that has been **tailor-made for gaming on Linux desktops** , and even the increasingly popular, **[Steam Deck][1]**. + +In this article, we will take a brief look at Bazzite, and see what it has to offer. + +### Bazzite: Overview ⭐ + +![][2] + +Based on the recently released [Fedora 38][3], Bazzite is using [Universal Blue][4], which is an OCI base image of Fedora. It features expanded hardware support like **Microsoft Surface device support** , and has key drivers preinstalled. + +🚧 + +Fedora 39-based builds are also available for testing. You can keep an eye out for its stable release later next month. + +Some of its highlights include: + + * **Preinstalled proprietary Nvidia drivers** + * **Support for hardware accelerated H264 decoding** + * **[Waydroid][5] implementation, allowing for running Android apps** + * **Support for Xbox controllers due to implementation of[xone][6], [xpadneo][7], and [xpad-noone][8]** + + + +![][9] + +#### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻 + +I tested Bazzite out on a [virtual machine][10] to take a look at it, and the installation experience was quite similar to Fedora's. But, the post-install is where you see the differences. + +Bazzite uses KDE [Plasma 5.27][11] desktop environment by default, with a neat **Steam Deck-like branding** across the operating system. + +It also offers **separate ISOs** for PCs and Steam Deck, including an **NVIDIA-focused variant** , and a **GNOME variant** if you do not like KDE. + +For setting up the distro for gaming use, I used the 'Bazzite Portal' app that took me through some important configuration steps. You also get to install [Open Razer][12] if you need it here. + +![][13] + +It first set up 'Bazzite Arch', which is a custom Arch Linux OCI in Distrobox that allows the likes of [Steam][14], [Lutris][15], and others to run gaming workloads inside it. + +![][16] + +After going through a few other config options, came the installation of applications, it showed different categories that contain the most popular apps for specific use cases. + +![][17] + +And, finally, after the setup, you have an OS all set for gaming 😲 + +![Lutris and Steam running on Bazzite.][18] + +Recently, with an update, Bazzite has added two new preinstalled apps: + +![Bazzite GNOME edition with system monitor app][19] + + * [Mission Control][20] (system monitor app) + * [Discover Overlay][21] (an app for Discord overlay). + + + +There are a few other config options that I skipped over. + +Bazzite can make use of the **Nix Package Manager** , **start Steam in Big Picture Mode at startup** , **has options for memory tuning** and more. + +It sounds like an interesting concept, and if you have been wanting something based on Fedora tweaked for gaming like [Nobara][22], you can try it. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][23] + +### 📥 Download Bazzite + +If you like what Bazzite has to offer, you can grab the latest release from its [GitHub repo][24]. + +[Bazzite (GitHub)][24] + +For more info on Bazzite, you can also head over to its early announcement [blog post][25]. + +_💬 Share your thoughts on the project in the comments below._ + +* * * + +[![Linux Foundation Bootcamp Offer][26]][27] + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/bazzite/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck/ +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Bazzite_1.png +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/fedora-38-release/ +[4]: https://github.com/ublue-os/main +[5]: https://waydro.id/ +[6]: https://github.com/medusalix/xone +[7]: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo +[8]: https://github.com/ublue-os/xpad-noone +[9]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/Follow-us-on-Google-News.png +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/virtual-machine/ +[11]: https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-5-27-release/ +[12]: https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer +[13]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Bazzite_2.png +[14]: https://store.steampowered.com/ +[15]: https://lutris.net/ +[16]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Bazzite_3.png +[17]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Bazzite_6.png +[18]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Bazzite_9.png +[19]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/bazzite-gnome-task-manager.jpg +[20]: https://gitlab.com/mission-center-devs/mission-center +[21]: https://github.com/trigg/Discover +[22]: https://nobaraproject.org/ +[23]: https://itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/12/android-chrome-192x192.png +[24]: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/releases +[25]: https://universal-blue.org/blog/2023/08/20/bazzite-10/ +[26]: https://news.itsfoss.com/assets/images/Certs-and-Bundles-1536x864.webp +[27]: https://itsfoss.click/latest-lf-offer
