"Part of what makes Bazzite so good for gaming is that it includes everything necessary to play Steam games right out of the box. Also, Bazzite includes support for HDR & VRR; uses the System76 CPU scheduler for improved gameplay; adds community-developed tools and tweaks to streamline the gaming and streaming experience; includes a proprietary driver for GeForce GPUs; adds Waydroid to run Linux games; and offers LUKS full-disk encryption and game controller support."
"Linux isn't the first platform most folks associate with gaming. Back in the day, Linux was lucky to get Frozen Bubble or Tux Racers. But then came Loki Games to prove gaming could be a real thing for the open-source operating system. (But then Loki folded, and that was that.) But there was still Wine. And then Proton. And then SteamOS. Today, gaming on Linux is no longer an afterthought. Case in point: Some distributions are built specifically for gaming."
Linux gaming evolved from simple titles to substantial compatibility layers like Wine and Proton and native platforms like SteamOS. Specialized and general distributions now target gaming directly. Bazzite is a Fedora-based SteamOS clone that provides out-of-the-box Steam support, HDR and VRR, the System76 CPU scheduler, community-developed tools, a proprietary GeForce driver, Waydroid to run Linux games, LUKS full-disk encryption, and controller support. Bazzite differs from SteamOS by using Fedora rather than Arch. Bazzite is freely downloadable with hardware-specific ISO options. Drauger OS is mentioned as a second distribution based on Ubuntu.
