Yeah but in Bazzite’s case one of those issues (the one from about a year ago) hit over 99% of their users. I really think that all these people talking about how great Bazzite is either haven’t been using it for long enough for the devs to have fucked up or they just haven’t noticed that their system hasn’t been updating for the past year.

The problem with using Bazzite as the solution to new users bricking their Linux installs is I’ve had Bazzite’s update utility break itself 3 times now. I couldn’t possibly recommend this distro to someone after that. I literally switched my desktop back to Arch for reliability reasons. Ridiculous.

Well I’m not aware of any Arch-based immutable distro besides SteamOS so it’s kinda hard to give a perfect answer.

you can just permanently connect your headphones to your dongle

No. Fuck that. My PC has a headphone jack, and I use it. I don’t have a bunch of extra USB-C ports on the front of my computer. Modern phones have plenty of spaces for headphone jacks. They could put it there, they just don’t want to.

That’s great and all but I’m not switching to Bluetooth headphones and I’m definitely not going to fiddle around with dongles every time I switch between listening on my phone and my PC. Phones are gigantic anyways; let my have my headphone jack. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that all these smartphone manufacturers that ditched the old standard will happily sell you shiny expensive disposable wireless earbuds.

Funnily enough Hatoful Boyfriend has a Linux release. When I try playing that in Japanese though I get a weird issue with fonts not showing up even though I’m pretty sure I have the correct fonts installed. Maybe it’s some weird containerization thing that keeps the game from seeing the font. When I try playing the Windows release it just doesn’t launch… is what I was going to say but I just tried it with Proton Experimental and it seems to work perfectly now. Problem solved I guess?

p.s. - Nvidia, partners old gaming laptop

My condolences.

Really? The only one I’ve had issues with is Persona 5, and even then I was able to get it working. Which GPU are you using?

Edit: now that I think about it I did have some trouble with Hatoful Boyfriend.
