Does the community have any thoughts on Bazzite for a desktop gaming machine?

My primary use with be mouse and keyboard, but the deck interface looks nice for the 10% of the time I want to use a controller. I also hear that HDR and VRR work better under it then most of the DEs.

Anyone out there using Bazzite for a similar use case? I'd also be curious to here about other ways people are using it.

Can 100% recommend.

The only difference between -deck and the classic one is the default environment it bolts into.

With -deck, you boot into the Steam big picture mode, and with the normal variant into normal KDE.

If you chose -deck, you can still enter desktop mode by clicking the power menu and then "Exit to desktop".
