    i switched over to Bazzite about a week ago, and it has been super frustrating. though it’s not in where you think. the game my group is playing (Arc Raiders) worked without a hitch.

    • but my speaker system, and microphone forced me to learn a whole lot about USB hand shakes,
    • ghost usb profiles,
    • usb cable choice,
    • what a flatpac is and why people hate it,
    • nano eccentricities (including how to save and quit, just labeling ctrl-o as save and not overwrite would stop so much bs),
    • sink states,
    • device name resolution,
    • pipewire,
    • pipe plumber,
    • pipe wire holding devices hostage,
    • usb power flapping because i plugged my speakers and my mic to close to each other causing the os to just give up on the both of them.
    • the timing of when the os asks for usb identifiers, verses when the usb devices are given power
    • out dated guides relying on depreciated methods and acceptable code used in modifiers to os procedure.

    my experience and days of trouble shooting the “easy” replacement os for gaming has frightened my friend group far away from linux.
