Moving Distros Again

Due to poor performance and not great experience that the person that I found out about bazzite through had, I have decided to switch distros

What happened?

Hostile devs

I had originally heard about bazzite through Cairo(@somefurrednerd.xyz) on bluesky, however today he had a quite hostile interaction with one of the devs, If you want to see that, look at this thread: https://bsky.app/profile/somefurrednerd.xyz/post/3lw3hmzq6t22d

Poor performance

Toaster Arena
Engine UE5
FPS Limiter 500
Windows FPS 300+
Bazzite FPS ~50
Minecraft
FPS Limiter Unlimited
Windows FPS 120+
Bazzite FPS ~60

System crashes

the system crashing has been a near DAILY occurrence, sometimes happening multiple times. I assume this is related to NVIDIA drivers for my 4060

Generally just dont like the os

I dont like how Im not supposed to use the system package manager

Moving on from bazzite
