I'm not sure I'd define the atomic Fedora variants as "distros" in the traditional sense.
This is a bit of an oversimplification, but Bazzite, Bluefin, etc, are basically just Dockerfiles that use Atomic Fedora as the base image.
So you are basically getting a pre-built docker container that is "Fedora + various configs added on top", and then you are booting that docker image.
Since it's just a container file, anyone could theoretically just fork the Bazzite repo, make some changes to the Dockerfile, then push it to github + let github actions build a custom docker image.
So is that custom docker image a distro? Some would say yes, others would say no.
- dlivingston 10mo agoInteresting. So Bazzite could be, theoretically, remade as just a NixOS configuration file.
- gfaster 10mo agoIronically, I'm considering installing Bazzite alongside NixOS because it's proven to be nearly impossible to run SteamVR properly with how Steam is packaged
- rounce 10mo agoFrom what I’ve seen so far from people I know who run Valve Indexes, Linux SteamVR performance is pretty poor compared with Monado+OpenComposite. Hopefully this situation changes with the release of the Frame, in which case I (and likely others) will be revamping the SteamVR package and NixOS modules as Monado may not fully support it for some time. Tl;dr: Run Monado w/ OpenComposite for the Index, it runs way better.
- gfaster 9mo agoDropping back here to say that I have been playing around with Monado + OpenComposite + WlxOverlay and while it's been plenty janky, it has actually usable performance when it works. Thanks for the information~
