tl;dw their performance numbers don’t match up to what we’ve seen in the past. Some pretty significant decreases in performance over Windows. I think there’s clearly some sort of configuration error there. They also ran into the old dual-boot problem where Windows overwrites the Linux partition.

In my opinion this is lazy and irresponsible reporting. I don’t at all mean to discount his experience, they are legitimate concerns, and it’s fine to show the struggles of using Linux, but it’s very clear he (admittedly) doesn’t know what he’s doing, and they need to consult an expert (or even a casual user) to figure out what the problem is before reporting. He said in the last video that Bazzite reached out to him to let them know if he has any problems so they could help but he obviously did not do that. As is, it just makes Linux/Bazzite look bad.

I hope he follows up with another video discussing the solutions.

What do you think?

    ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ average non-linux tech youtuber video. Something goes wrong on windows = user error, something goes bad on linux = OS fault

    They also ran into the old dual-boot problem where Windows overwrites the Linux partition.

    This one kinda makes me laugh tho. Other than work I don’t know why people would put up with that level of bullshitery from an OS

      The fact that M$ forced uefi on everyone then couldn’t implement it properly on their own and does this fuckery instead, should make it very clear the quality of the rest of their work.

        It’s not like it was an accident or that they didn’t know what they were doing. This is working as intended as far as they’re concerned.

      That’s why I put my Windows install and my Linux install on separate drives. I understand that not everyone has two drives to do this, but to anyone who does, it can save some headaches.

        I did that and windows still somehow fucked up my secure boot enrollment for Bazzite when I did an update.

          I don’t have secure boot set up, and I’m afraid to enable it. I’m not sure what it will do to both OSes…

            I turned it off after that because no matter what I tried I couldn’t get my Bazzite install to boot and I ended up having to start over. It did work fine up until then, just had to enroll Bazzite which they had instructions for on their site. Not sure it’s worth it to have it on though when things like that can happen, if I’d been able to fix it I probably would have kept it.

              I never really even thought about it until I tried to play the BF6 beta and it told me to fuck off. I’m not crazy about kernel level anti-cheat anyway, so it might just be my excuse to keep my money instead of giving it to EA.
