Yup! I’ve been running Linux on my machines in some way or another for 20 years. I’ve worked as a systems administrator and in ops teams. So I’m not a Linux beginner, and I’m not afraid of a shell.

But I play steam games online with friends. I had a Windows 10 PC in my house specifically to be the gaming PC, I would turn it on, play a game, then turn it off. I didn’t do anything else with the machine, but when I was running it I wasn’t at work, I wasn’t tinkering, I was relaxing.

So anyway Microsoft botched Windows 11, big surprise, and people were talking about the Linux gaming revolution, and I was like “Hot Damn, if there’s a Linux gaming revolution I want to be part of it!”, so I installed Bazzite and… yup. I’m part of it.

I haven’t had a single issue since, at least with my machine and the games my friends play. I’ve been able to basically treat the system like it’s a console. I boot it, navigate it with a controller, then I turn it off. Delightful!

So thanks to everyone involved in making it a great experience!
