Bazzite founder here, We actually ship with no X11 session installed. This change was made when we rebased on Fedora 41.

You can of course install one, but it’s our policy that if you open an issue while using X11 we ask you to try again on Wayland, and if it doesn’t happen there your issue is getting closed.

When proton rebases on the latest wine we will be very close to being in a position where we can just remove all xWayland packages, I suspect that will happen in the next few years.

Yeah sorry, your opinion’s just not that important. Maybe if you showed a shred of interest in growing the Linux desktop I might be inclined to care

I can tell you right now if you want the Linux ecosystem to grow, the average person is probably downloading the installer and installing it because of word of mouth or mentions in YouTube videos, and not writing all of these words I’m not going to read on lemmy.

You’ve already done a direct disservice to your cause by starting this comment thread in the first place – trying your best to dissuade one such user because you don’t like a word and don’t like that a developer doesn’t value your opinion of that word.

Cloud native is the end product too. The point of my firmness with you was not to express that I don’t care about windows users – quite the contrary, none of this would exist without that – but to express that I don’t care about your issue with the definition of an already defined word.

Yes, it’s designed to be as easy as possible to manage and exceedingly difficult to break in a permanent way.

It’s also turnkey in comparison to Windows, in the sense that you already have all of your hardware drivers and have Steam installed right from the get-go.

UKI is something we very much want to do in the future, but it’s a long-term goal

As far as replacing the init system, I think even in traditional Fedora that would be extremely challenging, but it could probably be done as a custom image.

Smells like FUD to me.

It’s the same RPM that’s installed in workstation from RPM fusion. There’s nothing custom about that.

Gamescope is also an RPM, it’s a slightly newer version than what Fedora packages but it’s packaged the exact same way. Neither of those are likely to break because they are fundamental to the basic functionality of the deck images.

Additional pre-installed packages are added, but existing packages are not touched.

It’s immutability comes directly from silverblue and kinoite, again nothing custom there.

Such as?

I’m not sure what you mean by that, it’s directly built on Fedora which is probably one of if not the best workstation OS.
