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?

Goddammit this all sounds so good. My final and most important question that decides if I switch. What does the neofetch icon look like?
Edit: I just looked myself and its a controller which looks cool but i don’t really like controllers. 🤔 hard choice but I think I’ll try it out.
If you like the idea of Bazzite, but aren’t a gamer, you could go with Bluefin or Aurora depending on your preference.

Yes I think their scheduler is nice? I mean you can just layer and enable it on any variant. Checkout ublues files.
Yes thats difficult for sure. I would trust bazzite more, as the distribution model is way more stable.
