The repository itself or the build process have had no changes, with the one addition being the large set of handheld and performance optimization patches Bazzite users have come to expect. These include the latest in handheld compatibility patches (OneXPlayer, ROG Ally, Steam Deck LCD/OLED, Surface devices) and stability fixes.

Enough magic for me :D I’m not sure where I read about latency fixes as well, have to come back on that.

During installation make sure to read up on atomic distros, there are some changes like package handling or the immutable system, but it’s not a big hurdle. Have fun!

Am I hearing that I just need to switch to Bazzite and this problem disappears??

Yes, simple as that. I use Bazzite for ~2years now on my main desktop with nvidia and a legion go. It really is “install and forget it’s linux”. It’s almost too good to be true…let’s hope the big “enshitification” doesn’t follow soon.

I’d expect that Bazzite and Mint would use the same Nvidia proprietary drivers

Expect a big leap in performance, they do a lot of magic with the kernel on Bazzite. It’s really fun.

Can you still install an OSS alternative instead of their locked OS? I am using a F4-420 with TrueNAS for more then 6 years now, as I remember they changed something in their firmware so you are not able to install another OS anymore. But I can be wrong, my Terramaster runs just fine on TrueNAS (community edition). It’s an awesome and trouble free NAS.
