To Windows people wondering:
JUST DO THE JUMP. Installing Bazzite only needs a 16GB flash drive and 15 minutes of time, and you’ll be SHOCKED how smooth everything goes compared to Windows bloat.
And you don’t even need to give up on Windows! You can keep it on dual boot until you realize you didn’t touched Windows even once over the last 6 months.
How much luck am I going to have with my SIM rig? Moza R12 and CRP pedals.
I know Le Mans ultimate will run mostly fine with a custom proton. But I have no idea where to start with the wheel, and what I can find seems like it might be out dated but could be a right pain(especially on bazzite) to get installed.
The controls should work right out of the box. Forced feedback however does not (at least that's the case with my setup). I haven't spent time trying to troubleshoot it, since I'm currently hooked on a non racing game.
Hey, not fair, I still need to migrate some of the old photos of my windows partition and it's only been 2 years...
Yup. Or CachyOS. Or EndeavourOS.
I'm currently happily replaying Skyrim on my EndeavourOS installation.
how well does modding work?
some instructions I've seen seemed overly complicated and are probably outdated so i played it on my old windows machine when the urge came
Last time I tried it worked totally fine. Most mods just hook into the base game, which is running the same as on Windows.
I wish. Given how frequently I use my computer for work, there's a few things that I've been unable to find suitable alternatives for. But it's things like having a specific workflow for PDF editing, where I'm use to a specific piece of software where I've set up custom shortcuts and such.
Otoh, for personal use definitely has been a good experience so far (just setup like a week or two ago). Haven't run into any issues there and certainly prefer the OS. Was super easy to setup (granted, I installed on a second drive rather than a true dual-boot).
I think I need this soon. Can I have it boot straight into Big Picture mode without login? (I don’t use a keyboard until I really need to)
Also, might it be possible to keep the existing partitions so I don’t have to redownload all the games?
Yes and yes and yes.
Though my experience with using Windows drives was mixed. Steam always wanted to re-download Linux versions of games if available, so everytine I switch in between OSes, my download queue gets full. There’s a workaround for forcing Windows versions on Linux Steam though.
I've been using Linux for a really long time, but the thumbdrive idea might inspire me to get it up and running on my wife's laptop!
