Performance wise, I actually did a benchmark in Cyberpunk 2077 on Windows vs. Bazzite on my laptop (Nvidia graphics card) and came out a bit ahead with Bazzite for most settings. Windows framerates were all over the place.
It may not be windows, but I’m still very happy with it overall. I’m willing to turn off my laptop completely to save battery because of broken sleep, and the nice thing is it boots faster than Windows for me!
My annoyance has been RAM - Bazzite is configured to use zram for swap, meaning it compresses part of your RAM to save space. That’s great since it’s a lot faster than swap to disk, but I’ve been running out of memory with Kerbal Space Program and my many mods. I’ve got 16 GB of memory installed, but without a swap partition/file it just kills the game when it uses too much.
I am ordering a larger stick, but I would personally prefer a slowdown (from getting stuff from disk) to a crash.
I’m sure there’s power saving Bluetooth weirdness. I was on Ubuntu, and my laptop would boot half the time with no BT card recognized. I had to hold down the power button for 15 sec or something to reset it. Since switching to Bazzite I haven’t had as many issues. Maybe it just comes with the driver or something? I don’t know, since I don’t care that much until it breaks…
Interesting that your Asus device has audio issues. my laptop is the Zephyrus G15 I think? (I know it’s GA503QR) and audio is fine out of the box. definitely a great space heater too though, the power supply is 200 W, and I usually run Cyberpunk at reduced graphics settings to cut down on heat and fan noise. It will legit heat up a small room
