Instead of shutting down why not choose another distro base
The only notable thing about Bazzite is that it's built on top of Fedora Atomic, making it immutable like SteamOS.
Without that, it's just a regular old distro with some opinions about which software should be preinstalled.
Probably a lot of time and work to do so, they've spent a lot of time learning what tweaks Fedora needs.
Makes sense
Why not ride streams coat-tails and switch to arch?
Or Debian. It still supports MIPS64 officially and 68K unofficially. x86 isn't going anywhere for a long time.
I'd not really paid attnetion until this thread and assumed it was an Arch derivative becase of Steam OS. TIL
The tiny bit of gaming I do is in my main install is LMDE using Steam, it works fine.
I went from Windows to arch after waiting for a while for steam to release the desktop os. No real problems gaming aside from anti-cheat.
That would require redoing everything. It would be a massive project, and honestly since there’s already other gaming oriented distros out there, what would be the point? It’s not like Garuda or PopOS is shit.
