  • Bazzite was the breakthrough for me. All my stuff just worked. Only 2 things I had to fix was

    1.adding 5.1 audio over Spdif, which was a single ostree command to make it permanent.

    1. Installing Proton-GE for one of my games that does not do well under normal proton.

    Took about an hour to research and fix both.

    I had tried to covert 4 times in the 5 years before. Ubuntu, linux mint and endevourOS would not play well with my hardware in years past.


  • He is a time poor impatient person. That is something linux will need to address for wider adoption.

    I would argue that their example resulted in some very wide ranging changes in approach that was long overdue.

    Linux was at risk of becoming an “OS for us” instead of a true replacement for everyone.

    I suspect if they repeat the challange today, it would be a night and day difference.










  • Both have an Ubuntu base

    Mint develops their own desktop called Cinnamon which is like a cross between Gnome2 and windows 7 UIs. Its looks a bit bland, but some people prefer that.

    Zorin uses Gnome3, but is heavily customized to give people a choice between windows 7, windows 10 or MacOS type experiences. The UI does look a lot more modern than mint in the looks department. They also have a commercial support option.

    Both have a pretty good suite of software for customization and management.

    Personally I’m loving Bazzite, which is Fedora based with a lot of customizations for gaming and modern hardware. It’s also immutable, which makes it difficult to break.
