I lose Virtual Desktop for my wireless VR, 3ds Max and Solidworks for CAM. If all I did was gaming, media and browsing, I'd switch. Which is why my HTPC, only used for couch gaming and media, is running Bazzite.

Counterpoint: Blender was the first 3d modeling tool I tried and I bounced off that UX so hard that I haven't touched it in nearly 20 years. Sometimes a bad UX is just bad UX.

If Supes is doing it to stop some dickwad from destroying the Earth, enslaving humanity, or erasing the concept of pizzas, I'll be yelling at him to do it again. Fuck the car, I can walk!

Bazzite & wireless peripherals in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I found a reddit post from a year or so ago, reportedly Bazzite has drivers for the dongle out of the box. I'm a little more concerned about the keyboard+touchpad combo, since I'd imagine that's not quite a standard device. Fortunately, I give negative fucks about any RGB, so I really don't care if any RGB the components happen to have don't even light up.

I'm building a new home theater PC and figured that since all it'll be used for is gaming, streaming and media playback, why not go for Linux? My choice of distros has basically come down to Mint and Bazzite, and I'm leaning towards Bazzite, but there's one massive question mark sitting in my brain. After the initial setup, the PC is going to use exclusively wireless peripherals, since it's gonna be sitting across the room from me and I'm not dangling cables over the gaps for my cat to jump into. I've got a Logitech K400+ wireless keyboard and Xbox One controllers, what are the odds that I'll get them working properly? Preferably without spending a week trawling Github? The devices will have to be connected via the official wireless dongles, since the PC doesn't have Bluetooth. And I don't think the keyboard even supports anything except the dongle.

EDIT: Alright, looks like it'll be a rather painless experience! Dope! Also checked ProtonDB for the games I'm playing, or planning to play, on this thing and everything is at least gold-rated.
