Also, does anyone seriously think they’d do this without some sort of carve out for Steam to work? I can’t imagine a worse idea at this time than for a desktop oriented distro to break the gaming use case that hard.
Bazzite for example runs poorly on my hardware. Video playback in browsers is super laggy/choppy/stuttery. I use the same browser in Fedora proper and it’s smooth.
As for Cachy, I know it’s meant for gaming but my games ran significantly worse than in both Bazzite and Fedora proper.
For my hardware setup, Fedora proper is the best balance between usability and gaming performance.
Damnit I just installed Fedora and it’s the best experience I’ve had lately. Works better than Bazzite and Cachy. Sigh.
It’s a proposal, not a for sure thing yet.

I strongly doubt that they’d render Steam not runnable on their distro.
I am curious to know how it “works better”?

Thanks for sharing! I honestly thought Bazzite was fedora with a few more packages on the top, but your issue sounds interesting
Bazzite is Fedora tho?..
It is a modified version of their immutable variant and it runs poorly on my hardware. 🤷♂️
big linux wants to keep you distrohopping.
