BazziteOS for the win. I used ChimeraOS for a year but Bazzite has been much better. It comes out of the box with most everything you need.
With that being said for gaming, Nvidia driver is very early days and is considered experimental under Bazzite. I have several Nvidia GPUs and I regularly test Linux with a 2070+Intel tiger lake machine to see what works and what doesn't.
I purchased a Radeon 7800xt for Bazzite and it's extremely stable. This will probably be my recommendation going forward.
Just curious, could you point me to where Bazzite says Nvidia is experimental still? I run it on a 1080+Intel Ivy Bridge EP desktop and it has decent performance, at least on par with Win10 since the 560 driver. (/gen)
Sure. When selecting Nvidia GPU under Bazzite you will see this message "Steam Gaming Mode support is available for your hardware in beta, but multiple known issues exist in these builds. Please note that the majority of bugs cannot be fixed except by your GPU manufacturer."
Ah yeah, you're right.
