Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.
Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive
you don’t have true permissions. bazzite is good, and it’s done to protect the user from themselves however if you know moreso what you’re doing with Linux it can be a hinderance.
bazzite is an uses immutable OS filesystem. still a good os though, just too restrictive for me. esp with multiple drives
What’s the problem with drives? Is it the required mount point? I have like 8 in mine and it’s fine, though because it’s a little finicky about mount locations, paths are longer than they really need to be. As I use them off the desktop that isn’t a major blocker though.
Get your point about the restrictions though - I use it to remind me this is my workhorse, not a playground. There’s a server for that.
had issues with my Nas mounting, detected it but won’t mount. went to manually mount on fstav, broke that. couldn’t boot, went to modify fstab to remove my changes… no root access.
ended up having to load into grub, made my changes to revert then was able to boot normally. this is when I found out about it being more locked down then what I expected.
also been having minor audio issues where my headset just loses connection and won’t come back until restart, but that’s a totally seperate issue which I haven’t cared to look into yet.
the restrictions are good for average users, and I know they are there to protect the user. I like to tinker and break things so I learn, bazzite makes that hard. just a warning is all, literally nothing wrong with bazzite itself and it runs great, MUCH better then windows did. just not for me
