Bazzite founder might shutdown whole project if Fedora drops support for 32 bit packages
Bazzite founder might shutdown whole project if Fedora drops support for 32 bit packages
You're viewing a single thread.
Did he elaborate on why? Is it really that integral to have 32bit tools?
Afaik Steam still heavily relies on 32-Bit. And bazzite's only purpose is Steam.
The comments in the thread don't mention Steam itself, but it's that running all the 32 bit games will become a problem. Steam's flatpak packages the 32 bit packages so that can get around this change, but the flatpak is not official and does not support all features. Steam themselves only provide the RPM for Fedora.
steam package from rpmfusion is not official
Ah you're right. It seems Steam only provides a *.deb as far as I can tell.
What features are missing on flatpak version? I am playing games that way without any issues...
I'm no expert, and I'm running Bazzite (and previously Nobara), both of which have the RPM installed by default so I don't think I've ever used the Steam Flatpak. But things mentioned in the thread are VR and Gamescope.
I do wonder if any issues are related to permission restrictions that could be resolved editing permissions with Flatseal, but I don't know enough about the issues.
Ah yeah. Would be unfortunate. Bazzite was the least amount of setup i've ever had to do with linux and is the only repo I could recommend to someone non-technical
That makes me sad. Bazzite just refused to install on my new laptop (as did several others, amusingly) so it was back to manjaro for me.
If bazzites only purpose is steam then it would’ve probably "died" anyway when Holo Desktop releases
