Arch releases updates every day. Idk about Bazzite’s cadence, but I’m guessing it’s at least weekly, if not daily.
Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve
CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoOther Linux distro can’t compete with valve. Valve constantly updates their OS and drivers. There is no way other distro can compete.
I have a steam deck. Valve releases updates almost once a month.

Other distros have been competing forever. SteamOS is built on top of Arch, which updates multiple times per day. Valve pushes a lot of updates tied to the Steam experience, some of them are also shared with normal Linux desktops, so that makes it somewhat of a moot argument. I run normal Linux (Fedora Workstation) and play games with Steam, and they run the same as my Deck, even day 1 releases.
Like, I get the appeal of a Valve-blessed Linux flavor, but as far as their stack goes, the Linux side of SteamOS is somewhat conservative (not many updates) and limited (due to read-only OS images) compared to normal Linux distros and the gaming side also gets pushed to all Linux distros. As a Steam Deck owner, I personally think Bazzite is more interesting for a real world gaming desktop usage than SteamOS, where you can’t even print documents because it lacks the required stack!
To show how conservative it is, I call recall a few examples:

Lots of people like don’t know much about Linux. We just want it simple and easy . SteamOS is mainly for Steam users who game only.
I know some people use their SD like a PC. I have a handsome why people>don’t just built one. SD is so underpowered and not optimeised for regular users.
