It always struck me that if gaming is in the mix, why not get the distro that puts it first? Docker is less fussy than a new release Steam game so Bazzite just seems like the logical choice. I use it heedlessly for work so game mode works out well for me. If I used it as a desktop and didn’t care about gaming then bluefin all the way

I do web development mostly, but I dabble in everything. I like to work from my Macbook because it’s nicer, but I have my bazzite system available through ssh and use it as a host for docker and many other things.
Claude Code becoming my tool of choice for development, and claude remote-control is a nice way to link up several boxes to one unified interface in Claude where you can trigger devcontainers and expose the ports via cloudflared.
Random display issues can be normal. I never encountered this though but at least for me (Nvidia RTX 4070) I see weirdness sometimes between games or if I plug in an extra monitor during a session. It gets better over time, Nvidia support is still new. Other chips are more stable but the same basic rules still apply

There’s also homebrew support, which installs packages to your home directory and is a nice way to bring common tools into the system without dealing with flatpaks i.e. `brew install rclone`. For GUI apps, flatpaks seem worth the frustration as it’s generally been more stable, and flatpaks give you some containerized niceties that feel more modern i.e. I need to tell syncthing about my mounted drive otherwise it’s outside of it’s sandbox meaning it’s not liable to dirty up my installation.
I can’t run AC: Shadows, and Diablo 4 tends to crash the graphics card on exit and I need to hard reboot. Also, sometimes the side-menu becomes visually unreadable which I assume is some compositor issue. Beyond these three things, it actually is quite stable and seems to run everything. Pretty good so far, I’m enjoying it and the immutable os makes it feels stable enough. Unlike traditional installs, when it blows up in my face I can usually bail it out with ujust.
