It was rescinded

Distro agnostic, it's just a flathub store.

I am very proud to say that it's not ours, we are going out of our way to support it but this is something that could come to any distro and hopefully will.

One of many reasons we replaced it.

You are not forgiven, your behavior was disgusting beyond all measure.

In no uncertain terms would I ever recommend Arch to a beginner, nor would I help a user behaving in the way that you did.

Do not reach out to me again on any platform.

Bazzite founder here. I started Bazzite after spending a few months helping with support on the steam deck Discord because I had already been using atomic fedora and knew the proper workarounds for people who wanted to install applications on a read-only distro like SteamOS.

Bazzite was initially an experiment to see what it would take to get SteamOS packages working in Fedora Atomic, because I knew Fedora Atomic provided a better experience for installing applications that had to be a part of the root system than SteamOS could.

Unlike SteamOS you can layer applications over the root system and they will be kept across updates instead of being removed entirely. You're also able to spin off custom images with any changes you want through a GitHub action. You have full access to the roof file system during the build process.

Bazzite founder here, We actually ship with no X11 session installed. This change was made when we rebased on Fedora 41.

You can of course install one, but it's our policy that if you open an issue while using X11 we ask you to try again on Wayland, and if it doesn't happen there your issue is getting closed.

When proton rebases on the latest wine we will be very close to being in a position where we can just remove all xWayland packages, I suspect that will happen in the next few years.

Yeah sorry, your opinion's just not that important. Maybe if you showed a shred of interest in growing the Linux desktop I might be inclined to care

[–] quarterlife@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

I can tell you right now if you want the Linux ecosystem to grow, the average person is probably downloading the installer and installing it because of word of mouth or mentions in YouTube videos, and not writing all of these words I'm not going to read on lemmy.

You've already done a direct disservice to your cause by starting this comment thread in the first place -- trying your best to dissuade one such user because you don't like a word and don't like that a developer doesn't value your opinion of that word.

Cloud native is the end product too. The point of my firmness with you was not to express that I don't care about windows users -- quite the contrary, none of this would exist without that -- but to express that I don't care about your issue with the definition of an already defined word.

Yes, it's designed to be as easy as possible to manage and exceedingly difficult to break in a permanent way.

It's also turnkey in comparison to Windows, in the sense that you already have all of your hardware drivers and have Steam installed right from the get-go.

Xone is indeed pre-installed, Xbox controllers are just plug and play, or pair and play for Bluetooth. You need to open a help thread if you're having issues, but try updating the firmware of your controller in the meantime.
