Just so you know: It's based on Universal Blue, which is based on Fedora Silverblue.

First time hearing about Universal Blue, but I have heard of Bazzite before.

I'm drumming up the courage to replace my Manjaro install with Aurora, and replace my Mint desktop with Bazzite+developer tools.

Is it easy/possible to install the Bazzite tweaks on top of Aurora?

Also, my desktop has an Nvidia card.. should I expect problems?

Yes, most of these should be available via ujust

Bazzite (and all UBlue-based distros) specifically ask you what GPU you use before you download the ISO, and they have special images for Nvidia users.

apparently no game mode, which I don't use on desktop anyway. it's basically just big picture with some differences in the nerd shit nobody normal cares about, and I think big picture might have been updated to look the same too.

Is there anything wrong with that?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

No, absolutely nothing wrong with that. Just want to let everyone know that it's not some random distro, but it actually uses a stable, reliable and well tested base distribution.

What's the major difference to Nobara? And why go for any of those instead of Fedora itself?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Note the difference between Fedora and Fedora Silverblue. Fedora is a regular Linux distro, like Ubuntu. Silverblue is an immutable distro which uses rpm-ostree and provides atomic updates. Universal Blue is based on Fedora Silverblue whereas Nobara is based on normal Fedora. Bazzite is a more gaming-focused variant of Universal Blue. I prefer Silverblue and Silverblue-based distros, because they are more stable and reliable. Bazzite perfects this experience and adds some more stuff on top, to making everything easier and more pleasant.

Alright... ELI5?
