SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck'

      At this moment in time, Bazzite is just straight up a better experience than SteamOS. Fedora backend with rpm-ostree is way better than what Valve has going on. And for Steam Deck, GNOME just makes more sense for touch interfaces.

        Yeah, I was puzzled why Valve chose KDE to be the default desktop for a touchscreen device. Ultimately though I figured they just wanted a Linux desktop that would be more familiar to Windows users.

          I would bet the main reason is that KDE is way more willing to accept features and contributions outside of the typical use case than Gnome is.

        Was on Ublu Kinoite Main38 when F38 went into beta.

        I’m not even sure if you’re taking the piss or that’s a real thing

          To clarify: I was using Fedora Kinoite 37 already:

          When I stumbled upon Jorge’s YouTube videos and his excitement for the Univeral Blue project made me just have to join/try it out.

          So when the beta for Fedora 38 went live, instead of rebasing Kinoite to 38, I rebased to Universal Blue 38:

          rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:38

          (The kinoite-main image since I have an AMD GPU)

          Now I’m on Bazzite 39 Desktop:

          rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:latest

          Honestly it’s a better out of box experience than even a chromebook. Except it’s Fedora. With lots of extra goodness and tweaks.
