  • 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. 🎮

    If you’re using KDE, you can go to System Settings > Software Updates and

    1. Set the notification frequency to weekly or monthly to reduce the number of update notifications.
    2. Disable offline updates. This will install updates while you’re using the system and you can choose to reboot when/if you want.

    Opening Discover will check for updates and, if updates are found, show the tray notification regardless of your notification frequency and when you last updated.

    Fedora does roll out updates pretty much daily, which can be annoying, but you can choose what and when to update.
