Bazzite Linux

Bazzite Linux is a Linux distribution with a focus on modern computer games. For the most part a Valve SteamOS 3 clone, it is based on Fedora Linux 38 rather than Arch.[1] It supports the Steam Deck[2] in particular and gaming PCs in general, and in functionality is virtually identical Valve's operating system. A keyboardless installation for handhelds is available,[3][4] and it is container-native.[5] It is named after the mineral bazzite, as Fedora Atomic Desktops (one of its forebears) once had a mineral naming scheme.[6]
