Yup! Forgot to circle back to this post, but confirmed updated to 6.9.4 and games are no longer crashing.

This will be me using YouTube in 2025.

That’s the one. Waiting for the patch to make it’s way downstream.

Hopped around for a while and enjoyed Fedora the most. I’m now on Bazzite and love it.

+1 for Bazzite. I stopped hopping around when I tried it with Fedora 38, been using it since.

I’ve had one problem related to kernel 6.9.x affecting Steam game stability on my old hardware ( i5 2500k). Newer systems have BIOS settings that mitigate the issue. It’s not a Bazzite specific problem. However, I was able to roll back and pin a previous image that uses kernel 6.8.x. Will unpin and update once I see a fix deployed.

I loved Doom 2016 and hated Doom Eternal. I’m gonna be real skeptical until I see how it actually plays after release.

AI really did a number on those fingers.

Stubborn? Windows 11 does not support my older hardware. With no other reason to upgrade, I’m not dropping that kind of cash just for Windows 11.

Regardless, I fully migrated to Linux last year.

Yeah, this version was shared in April. No source provided, unfortunately.

Interesting choice of word here.

I understood that reference.

Bazzite has been wonderful. I went in skeptical about immutable distris for gaming but Bazzite has been such a great experience.

I felt this same way until I jumped into the Omega expedition. It was an excellent crash course for all the game offers and I now feel way more comfortable jumping into the base game and doing whatever I feel up to.

Cool, but would probably just install Bazzite anyway.

Shame Cedar Fair sold Great America in California before this merge could be approved.

But, it is remote! From your home…

Yes, and I love it.

I only use my PC for gaming and web browsing. I mainly stuck with Fedora, but also used Tumbleweed and Nobara. Regardless of which distro I used I was never fully satisfied with the initial setup or upkeep.

• Fedora was great, but I was hopping around often and there was always a setup process to get Steam and what not installed and set up.

• Nobara is a great option with gaming tools installed and setup for you. However, it’s maintained by a single (awesome) dude and major upgrades often require some manual work arounds.

• Tumbleweed was great until there were updates. More times than not, updates failed due to repo or dependency issues.

Bazzite, however, is the first (and only, so far) distro where I quite literally install, reboot, launch and log into Steam, start playing games. No other setup steps were required as everything I need is baked into the image. And with the automatic updates there’s been no upkeep.

Since installing Bazzite I’ve had no desire to try anything else, which is great. More time for gaming. 🎮

Just reminded me of the Optimus Maximus keyboard. Dreamed of having one when it was announced.

Doom 1 was my first real PC game and will always be special, as will Doom 2.

I adore zdoom and the modding community.

Doom 2016 is hands down my favorite after multiple playthroughs. It just feels incredibly satisfying to play.

Never finished Doom Eternal. The changes to combat are too frustrating to me.
