It's based on Silverblue instead of Workstation and has very different features, such as Waydroid set up out of the box, they also have a Steam Deck variant that more closely matches the SteamOS experience
Interesting. Could I take that Steam Deck variant and use it on my desktop to create SteamOS console experience?
Thats the point of that distro
At this point, if Valorant ran on Linux, I'd probably install it on my gaming PC.
Anybody knows how Nvidia's hardware encoding and framebuffer capture work on Linux? I had a bunch of issues with decoding in the past, and I heavily rely on encoding performance for my in home streaming setup.
Many steam deck users report that using moonlight as a client works great with nvidia hosts. It utilises nvidia gamestream protocol which is built into the nvidia drivers on Windows/Linux, basically removing the need to mess around with encoder settings.
Saw something about this days ago and couldn't find it. Definitely saving this post so I do not forget what this distro is called, again. Definitely wanna try this out via dual boot or VM in the future on a more powerful device than my current desktop and laptop.
Just FYI, universal blue projects can only dual boot if you use seperate disks, due to the way rpm-ostree/OCI partitions are made/function.
I've been using Ublue Kinoite since March.
And Bazzite since two weeks ago.
Be interesting to see what Steam Deck Distribution alternatives are going to be popping up.
Seeing a few interesting feature in this project, I may have to dig out my other desktop to attempt to make my own SteamBox.
