Can I use bazzite as my main distro for regular use and coding besides just gaming or it’s more focused on gaming alone and I should dual boot another distro for my non gaming needs?
I use Bazzite. I like it a lot.

You can use Bazzite to code just fine. The great thing about OS like Bazzite is it’s so easy to switch to many other atomic/immutable distros. You’re not locked in. You can just ‘rebase’ it to Aurora with a command, which is the development focused version by the same team.

Yes, especially if it’s your first distro and you haven’t learned habits from non immutable distros. Distrobox and flatpak cover most, and technically, you can install other stuff with rpm-ostree, at the cost of some space and longer update times the more you layer on.

I think they even have a developer version of Bazzite. Not sure what the differences are though.

I personally had some trouble wrapping my head around distrobox while using bazzite and trying to install coding dependencies, but I’ve been having a great time gaming and programming on Nobara! The nice thing with Bazzite is the integrated distrobox which lets you run something under any linux OS (and even windows, I think?), and should theoretically be good for coding, so if you spend more time than me you should be able to program just fine. Maybe VSCode with remote ssh addon or something.

As an avid CachyOS user, yes, Bazzite is amazing and every new Linux user (who games) should use it.

What’s the story on integrated amd gpu support? I know it’s technically supported, but would love to hear from others on how it actually feels.

AMD graphics hardware is extremely well supported on every distro out of the box. The Steam Deck, for instance, uses an AMD iGPU.

Supported by the Linux kernel, so it works out of the box.

If you have an AMD GPU then you’re in for a great time. I built my PC last year and went all AMD. Ever heard of “plug-n-play”? That’s the definition of it. All I had to do on Cachy is click a button called “install gaming packages”. On Bazzite, you don’t even click a button, it is all there out of the box.

No issues whatsoever if you have AMD
