Special Thanks

Bazzite is a community effort and wouldn't exist without everyone's support. Below are some of the people who've helped us along the way:

• amelia.svg - For creating our logo and overall branding.
• SuperRiderTH - For creating our Steam game mode startup video.
• evlaV - For making Valve's code available and for being this person.
• ChimeraOS - For gamescope-session and for valuable support along the way.
• Jovian-NixOS - For supporting us with technical issues and for creating a similar project. Seriously, go check it out. It's our Nix-based cousin.
• sentry - For assistance with needed kernel patches and for creating the kernel-fsync repo we now use.
• nicknamenamenick - For being the MVP nearly single-handedly upkeeping our documentation and support literature, and countless cases of helping users.
• Steam Deck Homebrew - For choosing to support distributions other than SteamOS despite the extra work, and a special thanks to PartyWumpus for getting Decky Loader working with SELinux for us.
• cyrv6737 - For the initial inspiration and the base that became bazzite-arch.
