Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support.
flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 day agoSame for my partner’s old gaming PC: she used Windows 10 until recently, and Bluetooth as well as the steam overlay didn’t work properly.
Now on Bazzite hey do.

It sounds like Bazzite is the most “plug and play” version at the moment, is that right?

I’ve heard lovely things about Bazzite with Steam.
However I have only run Steam on Ubuntu and Linux Mint, where it ran flawlessly.
I think the Linux Mint workflow of “click on software center”, “search for steam”, “click install” - is hard to beat.

Well, Bazzite has it pre-installed, but that’s the experience for other stuff lol.
I don’t recommend mint for newbies because it comes with X11 even still.

Bazzite has closed source software preinstalled? Yikes

For most things, I’d agree.
Yet, I found it tricky to get Optifine working on Minecraft (Vanilla, i.e. no Forge and such) since there seems to be no way to install JRE on the system. Had to work with a distrobox container, install JRE there and run the .jar file through it. I’ve managed, but beginners won’t find this very “plug and play”.
So YMMV.

Honestly, I don’t know which distro is not plug and play with steam nowadays. I’ve tried Garuda, Manjaro and Linux Mint so far, no notable issue.
