    I was running Bazzite for several months before I switched back to Windows. Unfortunately for me I have a broadcom wifi adapter, it kept disconnecting every 10-15 minutes, and that doesn’t bode well for gaming. Outside of that I really enjoyed using it! At least my steamdeck counts towards usage of Linux…

    Edit: also steam having to download pre-cached shaders almost every time I started up my computer was kind of annoying. I know you can disable that, but then you’re leaving performance on the table iirc.

        Ooh I know, but there’s also a few games here and there where anti-cheat doesn’t work on Linux. Yes I know dual-boot like you said but I’m too lazy to switch between both.

      Broadcom drivers are a PITA even with akmods or dkms

      Had similar issues where card would just randomly disconnect, although for some reason never when it was under load.

      Even followed the Arch wiki and tried some alternative driver modules with no luck

      Luckily it was a desktop so I eventually just switched to ethernet
