Getting Started

• Installing Bazzite

  From desktop/laptops,
  Framework 13/16, home theater PC setups to a multitude of handhelds:

  It is also compatible with other tools as well:

  * Desktop images require enabling Proton for all Steam games.

• Installing Software

  Order reflects the recommendation degree.

  1. Flatpak for graphical apps.
     
  2. ujust to use Bazzite tailored installers.
     
  3. Homebrew for command-line apps.
     
  4. Distrobox for legacy Linux apps or as development containers.
     
  5. Appimage for portable apps found on the web.
     

  There is also package layering with rpm-ostree but it is advised to avoid using it if possible.
