Hi! Absolutely none game with Steam Proton doesn't works! But when I use Wine-GE with Lutris (or just use Wine-GE instead of Steam Proton) - everything works fine! Where's the issue may be? 🤔

OS: Devuan

What are these apps?

Well, you have things like EmuDeck, for emulating console games,

Lutris, for an alternative, non Steam way to run games via WINE or Proton,

Protontricks to help manage and configure WINE and Proton...

A whole bunch of other stuff that may or may not interest you.

Is this actually Linux?

Yes, it is, it is built off of the Fedora Atomic model.

So... the simple explanation is that the core operating system is read-only, unalterable, in most situations.

The core libraries of the OS are managed by the developers, who make the 'recipe' of all the core stuff, and update it and occasionally add to it... the user can override this and add in new core libraries, but it is highly advised against, and the terminal will yell at you that you are probably doing something stupid when you try.

That being said, if you do mess up the core libraries... you can use

rpm-ostree rollback

And that will revert you to the last, stable, bootable configuration, which it automatically keeps backups of, locally.

Then, almost all applications and software are run through flatpak, which keeps them self-contained, so if they break, it is only them that break, not your whole system.

If you want to do something that requires more control over a linux in a tradtional linux sense... Bazzite comes with DistroBox, which basically allows you to have multiple linux oss download their own libraries in their own box, and then you can do more advanced tinkering in there.

(technically it is quite complicated, as i understsnd it, distrobox is basically ... customized, fancy docker images, if you are familiar with docker)

It's too late 🙃

sigh

I tried.

I tried to warn you!

I also already doubt this 😟. And I've already cleaned that machine.

Welp.

No turning back.

It looks like you are prepared to go all the way.

lol

I.. I hope you do already know how to... flash an iso to a usb drive, and that you have not just wiped out your only means of downloading said iso.

Good luck!

As I know - Red Hat developed SystemD? Fedora - is Red Hat, Bazzite - is Fedora?

I... think SystemD has been around for quite a while, I am not sure who developed it originally.

20+ years ago, Fedora emerged out of Red Hat EnterpriseLinux, basically as the not business oriented, general use version of Red Hat.

The details are complicated, but by now, Fedora has advanced so much that RHEL is actually based off of Fedora; they use the more mature parts of Fedora that have proved to be very stable.

Bazzite is based off of Fedora, specifally the system Fedora uses for Atomic versions of Fedora. Like I tried to describe earlier, the Atomic variants of Fedora take a different approach and try to section off the core OS, keep it safer and more stable, and provide different kinds of containers or boxes for the user to run apps in, or experiment around in.

Bazzite is not officially a Fedora Atomic distro, made by the Fedora project... but their whole Atomic system is open source, so the Bazzite team uses it as a basis for their even more gaming focused OS.

Sort of similar to how PikaOS or Devuan or Ubuntu or PopOS! are based off of Debian... or the modern SteamOS that steam deck's natively run on is based off of Arch.

I tried to warn you!

Yeap! It's so)

I… I hope you do already know how to… flash an iso to a usb drive, and that you have not just wiped out your only means of downloading said iso.

Yeap! I almost an advanced user 🙃. I reinstall an OS on my PC about 9.999.999.999 times... (maybe a little bit less)

But I want to try firstly that here's someone can hint me 😉

It seems that it is the most user-friendly distribution. But there's so many proprietary softs as I guess 🤔
