Does the Lutris stuff mean Starcraft 2 and battle.net will easily work on this?

Did they change the website in the last hour? It now says "The operating system for the next generation of gamers".
Haha, yes! https://web.archive.org/web/20251130082805/https://bazzite.g... Great victory.
But it's much worse now, they've lost the name of the OS!!!

I've been using linux since the days of downloading slackware on a stack of 1.44mb floppy disks. I gave up on linux gaming around 2007. I've revisited it this year, but it still sucks. it's just not worth it. just relax, install windows and late the escapism take over.
ugh, I remember when the comments here were better than reddit.
I don't.

Weird, I’m from the same era, and a predominantly Windows user, but I have zero complaints about Linux gaming on my Steam Deck.
Well, that's apples and oranges. I was playing starcraft on wine earlier this year and there were constant freezes and crashes on new hardware.

#355I've been using Linux forever (back to the mailed Ubuntu CDs days). I installed this begrudgingly after fighting edge cases with Waydroid on Arch. It's the first "batteries included" distro I've actually liked. I usually hate the "omakase" approach, but the setup here is pretty much how I would've done it myself. Side note: GNOME + Waydroid is the best experience I've had with a desktop OS on a tablet. Finding tools…

I also started my Linux journey with a turn of the century Slackware install. Linux has come a long, long way since then, but I learned a lot back then. Distros like Bazzite are practically "turn-key" now.
In any case, I would rather use those hard earned skills hand configuring Slackware today than to put with the shitshow of Windows pop-ups, forced account creation, telemetry collection, UI changes for the sake of change, advertisements built into the OS, random OS corrupting BSODs, etc..

The problem with your thought experiment is intentional obfuscation - where is the Linux equivalent? "Next generation of construction bricks" is already obvious
Well, "next generation of Linux gaming" is not specific. "Next generation of Linux operating system" would be specific.
My thoughts exactly, linux gaming really doesn't tell me much, beyond that I might be able to use it if I was using Linux. Could be some controller or a Proton-something for all I can tell reading the phrase.

I believe you are. Or we are. The quoted line tells me nothing. Is it a new game engine? Or something like winetricks to tune wine, maybe more streamlined? Or is it a some kind of app store? App launcher? It is the site made like a presentation, in my experience they are all suck and like a real presentation are impossible to comprehend without accompanying speech.
It does say very clearly on top of the page that it is an "operating system", what is so unclear about it? If you want to know more, just scroll down and read more detailed explanation Not sure in what way some people expect to be fed the information. If you did not understand what it is from the first couple of sentences then maybe it is not for you.
They JUST changed it (probably reading the HN feedback). Now the title on tip reads "The operating system for the next generation of gamers" while just yesterday it was simply "The next generation of Linux gaming".
The change is for the better, but I would still like to have words like "Linux" and "distro/distribution/pack" be used.

Yes, would be a major upgrade Then let us understand will it be a separate PC (or mini computer) solely for gaming, or is it still some familiar OS that can be used for other purposes too? Arch? Debian?
Awesome, I'll probably workshop it a touch but I appreciate the input.
Now the title on tip reads "The operating system for the next generation of gamers" while just yesterday it was simply "The next generation of Linux gaming".
The change is for the better, but I would still like to have words like "Linux" and "distro/distribution/pack" be seen somewhere soon after the visitor loads the page.

How about this: > Next generation of construction cranes - gezzite makes construction smoother and simpler across various commercial and residential projects.
Too much noun, needs to be vaguer. How about "next generation of Nordic construction".
Still too specific.
How about "next generation of sheltering" or "next generation of the essential element in the hierarchy of needs"?

"The next generation of Linux gaming - Bazzite makes gaming and everyday use smoother and simpler across desktop PCs, handhelds, tablets, and home theater PCs." Are we reading the same website?

Yes they did. Now the title on tip reads "The operating system for the next generation of gamers" while just yesterday it was simply "The next generation of Linux gaming".
The change is for the better, but I would still like to have words like "Linux" and "distro/distribution/pack" be visible somewhere on the first visible page.
