Well here you go: https://bazzite.gg/

People who want to run a lot of different emulators, for example. You can play all your Steam Deck games and all your other console's games, from a single device with a great Big Picture mode.

Bazzite also includes Waydroid, which means you can use all your Android apps.

I know that it's possible to do some (perhaps all?) of that on a stock deck by doing all the setup yourself, but Bazzite handles it OOTB.

Luckily for you this already exists, and it's effectively SteamOS:

You can even put this on a Steam Deck as a drop-in replacement.

You can get USB-C to HDMI cables, you don't need an adapter.

If it's chunky as hella, you got stew there fella.

The "minimal" part is incorrect; it is a super complicated container. The number of moving parts don't leave me with any confidence that I could keep it running or fix any issues going forwards.

Mainly for security. I was originally looking at CoreOS but I liked the additional improvements by the UBlue team. Since I only want it to run containers, it is a huge security benefit to be immutable and designed specifically for that workflow.

The Ignition file is super easy to do, even for just one server (substitute docker for podman depending which you have):

Take a copy of the UCore butane file:

https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore/blob/main/examples/ucore-autorebase.butane

Update it with your SSH public key and a password hash by using this command:

 bash

    
# Get a password hash
podman run -ti --rm quay.io/coreos/mkpasswd --method=yescrypt

  

Then host the butane file in a temporary local webserver:

 bash

    
# Convert Butane file to Ignition file
podman run -i --rm quay.io/coreos/butane:release --pretty --strict < ucore-autorebase.butane > ignition.ign

# Serve the Igition file using a temp webserver
podman run -p 5080:80 -v "$PWD":/var/www/html php:7.2-apache

  

During UCore setup, type in the address of the hosted file, e.g. http://your_ip_addr:5080/ignition.ign

That's it - UCore configures everything else during setup.___

Rootless Podman :) It requires you to learn a little bit of new syntax, for example, the way you mount volumes and pass environment variables can be slightly different, but there's nothing that hasn't worked for me.

I'm using this on uBlue uCore, which I would also strongly recommend for security reasons.

Wonderful response, and I agree completely. It echoes the thoughts I've tried to convey to friends in their 20s, but much more eloquently than I have managed.

I switched and was very glad to do so. You increase your security and so far I haven't seen any downside. Every container I've tried has worked without issues, even complex ones.

That wouldn't stop page views from being counted.

I can confirm that Bazzite works flawlessly on a Razer Blade 14 without any additional configuration. Just installed from ISO and it was perfect.

The draw is that you cannot screw them up. Non-power users are the ones who will get the most out of them!

I know that I'll never get a call from my friend saying, "I ran this command I found on an Ubuntu forum, and now my system won't boot..."

As a counterpoint, I installed Bazzite on a Blade 14 for a heavy gaming friend who was leaving Windows, and they have had no issues whatsoever.

I personally use Bluefun, and again, no issues at all. Incredibly good experiences on both.

I can't imagine what you mean by needing more work to configure, they both worked out of the box with no configuration.

You can't know with certainty on Signal that the client and the server are actually keeping your messages encrypted at rest, you have to trust them.

With Matrix, if you self host, you are the one in control.

It's harder to create new content than to correct existing content.

Just remember that Cloudflare decrypts and re-encrypts all your data, so they can read absolutely everything that passes through those tunnels.

This is exactly the reason that Proton became a non-profit:

Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established, which, in this case, is to defend Proton’s original mission. As the largest voting shareholder of Proton, no change of control can occur without the consent of the foundation, allowing it to block hostile takeovers of Proton, thereby ensuring permanent adherence to the mission.
