Well, Bazzite just obliterated one of the last reasons I was still clinging to Windows 11.
My living room PC has an RTX 3090, yet Windows still won’t run anything at 4K 60fps. It caps out at 4K 30fps or 1080p 60fps—no matter what I do. For years, I blamed the TV. Thought maybe I cheaped out. Spent all this money on a high-end rig, and it never delivered what I wanted.
Then I docked my wife’s Legion Go. It dual-boots Windows 11 and Bazzite.
Guess what? Same problem on Windows. But boot into Bazzite? Boom—4K at 60fps, no issue.
Turns out it wasn’t the TV. It was Windows.
Once again, Linux quietly proves it’s the better OS for gaming.

in reply to collappsar • • •@collappsar My friend, no delusion—I just told you exactly how Bazzite gave me a better gaming experience than Windows.
If you have the hardware, try it out yourself.

in reply to collappsar • • •@collappsar I’ve been using SteamOS for three years. It’s now at the point where 98% of my games just work—and I own 7,300 games.
The only games that don’t work are multiplayer types that have implemented proprietary anti-cheat systems. Everything else? Smooth as butter.
Again, you can try this for yourself.

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •Fair enough. Very good. I might try it in future. I know I'm never gonna run Windows 11 and Windows 10 is the last one I'm ever gonna install. If I can get Proton to run on KDE Neon then I might do that.
I just look at ProtonDB and see that only 10% of games run without bugs, and 40% kind of do with tweaks.

in reply to collappsar • • •@collappsar Just so you know ProtonDB is very conservative. There are games that ProtonDB says don’t work, but I got them to work without a hitch. It’s probably best that they’re so conservative.
But I’ll also tell you, there are several older Windows games that are completely unplayable on Windows 11 but work just fine on via Proton.

in reply to Miff • • •@miff You are actually correct.
I have an RCA 4K TV.
Windows identifies it as “Generic PnP”.
Bazzite, though, identifies the actual model.
