I love to see the progress Fedora Atomic Desktops is making. I switched to Fedora Kinoite from Windows and it has been the most stable Linux experience I have ever had. Updating to Fedora 40 was as easy as checking out another git branch.
When I installed Linux I wasn't expecting to stay with it for very long because I had some bad experiences with it in the past. As of now, I haven't had the need to boot into Windows since switching to Fedora five months ago.
Actually recently I learned if you rebase to latest instead of 40 (at least if you are using OSTree native container images like ublue) you dont need to upgrade anymore, that is decided upstream.
Agree on the stability completely, distrohopped a ton before and everything just broke.
I am working on a CentOS Desktop image set currently, first time doing that but will be pretty cool. Atomic CentOS Stream, to have a superstable system.
Reading through that article I somehow ended up on the bazzite page and then went down a rabithole learning about the system76 scheduler. Just when I thought I'd settled down now I want to switch to bazzite to try out the system76 scheduler.
But I'm not sure what's better for overall performance. Bazzites modifications or glorious eggrolls modifications.
Performance wise, I doubt there's notable difference.
I've tried both, and honestly Bazzite OS is on a league of it's own.
Nobara has updates with breaking changes that require manual steps to avoid bricking your installation.
Bazzite on the other hand immutability makes it a freaking indestructible distro, and for a gaming machine, that is a good thing.
Bazzite's CI/CD automated builds helps them release upstream improvements way faster, for example... they are already on Fedora 40.
It also comes ready to go out of the box. The experience is amazing. The only drawback is having to reboot to apply changes to the system. But the many benefits outweight this inconvenience.
I use Bazzite for a mainly work, gaming sporadically machine and honestly, I don't know what changes bluefin might have that I'm missing. Leaner maybe? Even for a gaming centric distro, the looks are very good.
If bazzite works for you, then good enough! Bazzite just comes with a lot more support for periphials that some might not need/want (e.g. vr headsets). So yeah, leaner. Or for that one poster, a neofetch icon that's not a gamepad?
