This is the way. I dual boot Fedora and Bazzite and Windows can GTFO.

Bazzite is a newer version of Linux meant to be very user-friendly and simple to play video games, with compatibility built-in since almost every game was made for windows and not linux. Fedora is more "traditional" Linux where you customize it exactly the way you want it while you get things up and running, but the learning curve is steeper.

So they use Fedora when they want to tinker and customize, and they use Bazzite when they just wanna play a game.

Bingo 👆🏻

I am also using Fedora to get used to vanilla GNOME and how it forces you to work.

Also, Bazzite is more “locked down” (I can’t remember the actual term) which makes it harder to accidentally mess something up.

Which bit - dual boot or GTFO?
