You're incorrect. They have since earlier this year and it's highly recommended in the blue discord.
But I do love the cognitive disconnect between Linux DE is easy and you've chosen the wrong hardware and haven't done enough compatibility research ๐คฃ. It's fascinating.
They just started their support, Jesus you are acting dumb. Try another distro. Fascinating you haven't done this already.
What distro do you suggest? I've done Debian , similar display and audio issues. As well as mint and Ubuntu. Is it going to fix my Bluetooth and pulse wire issues as well? Does it support deck mode and btrfs?
Try Debian next would be my suggestion.
Edit: This guy is ninja editing, blocked
I've done so already. Similar hdim config issues and I needed to run a pulse wire script on boot to detect and set the audio on my HDMI sound bar.
Bazzite founder here, we've supported Nvidia since 1.0
Can you not lie to potential users? Please?
The official support started in January of 2025 and you guys clearly don't have your crap together so we have people talking shit because of it. Thanks!
"No, Bazzite does not completely lack Nvidia support, but its support is in beta with significant caveats compared to its primary AMD focus. While Bazzite offers hardware compatibility out-of-the-box for AMD GPUs and has specific beta Nvidia images available,"
Incorrect, we've supported Nvidia for the lifespan of the project.
You are pointing to gamemode issues only, which is out of our control. Desktop images work without caveat.
This is not a unique position to Bazzite.
Nice glossing over the fact that Nvidia drivers are in beta and Bazzite specifically supported AMD hardware.
Let's be honest people use Bazzite to play games, it doesn't work right on Nvidia still.
You are correct, Nvidia sucks on Linux nowadays.
Nvidia drivers are not in beta, we use the latest stable for all nvidia releases. Only gamemode images are considered beta for reasons outside of our control.
We never specifically supported only AMD hardware.
I'm not sure why you think you can tell the founder of the project it's history. You might want to rethink what you're doing a bit.
Bazzite had an official beta program for NVIDIA support in early 2025, but it has since been integrated and is considered a major feature, though still noted as having more caveats than AMD support.
You are clearly trying to mislead about Bazzite's ability to work with Nividia. The guy I was discussing this with is feeling the pain. Constantly having to plug and unplug his monitor, no HDR support, etc.
If you want to fix this problem go talk to him not the guy who is pointing out your Nvidia support is not up to par.
After talking with you I am no longer going to recommend Bazzite like I used to. Congratulations!
Incorrect, we never put Nvidia in a beta program other than labeling game mode images as beta for, again, problems outside of our control.
That's fine, if your idea of support is AI hallucinations and actively lying to people I'd appreciate it if you never spoke of the project again.
Thanks
Message from the actual maintainers of Bazzite in Jan 2025.
As of today, bazzite-deck-nvidia is now available as a beta thanks to improvements in the latest Nvidia drivers. While this is very clearly not a stable experience everyone should jump on, this should at least give our users something to play with and a tool to help report the remaining bugs to Nvidia.
Some important caveats:
Let us know what you think!
Gamemode image, exactly what I've been saying.
Nvidia was never beta, only game mode images, again, for reasons outside of our control.
