… and it’s much, much better than I anticipated. Proton has solved so many things. I’ve been dual booting on a smaller partition so far, but this has convinced me to wipe the whole disk and use it for Linux only. I might still keep a dual boot in case there is some edge case, but nothing so far has been an issue. I’ve been running Pop_Os! which I also have on my laptop since some year back. Previously I’ve also always had Arch on my laptop, but always stuck with Windows for my desktop just because of gaming issues.

    Do you know if there is a way to have the battery only charge to 80%. I use it mostly docked to the TV and windows has this setting but I haven’t found it in Bazzite yet (only had Bazzite for like 10 hours).

      if it’s not already an option in the power settings, it should be feasible to adapt any linux laptop guide on how to do this. Look in to TLP. There may be easier options or graphical frontends too.

        It turns out that steam os (Bazzite) has this already enabled. I just didn’t understand what I was looking at because windows displays battery level and setting differently and the battery always read at 80% on windows when plugged in vs not. On Bazzite it reads as “full” but the bar only shows at 80% which is hard to see on a small screen but easier to see when docked to the TV. Thanks for the pointers though.

            Actually really good. Deckyloader took care of a lot of the stuff I needed for the legion go’s native controller and so on. Only thing that’s bugging me at the moment is for some reason I can’t control or change the RGB for the thumb sticks or power button. The setting isn’t in the controller settings where it should be. But everything else just works, and it’s been great so far.

              Nice.

              Linux gaming has made insane leaps over the last few years, really starting to close off my last windows needs.

                I have 4 maybe 5 games that I can’t run on Linux to my satisfaction ATM. We’ll see how that plays out as things develop more, but so far I’m very happy with my decision to run Bazzite.
