Preview of the next release, need to fix an issue with Xbox controller detection and then we'll add it to the Bazzite Portal for anyone to easily use.
And yes, the SteamOS keyboard works!

Is there currently any drawback in using bazzite compared to stock SteamOS? Like stability-wise or missing feature missing?
Only missing feature compared to SteamOS 3.6 is HDR, we're waiting for Fedora to land it in stable rather than port all of that from SteamOS.
And then of course there's a ton of features we add that SteamOS doesn't have. We build from stable Fedora and keep our patches minimal so the intent is for Bazzite to be as stable.
I'm way too lazy to jump through the hoops of reinstalling games, but when I get a less tiny SSD and have to jump through hoops anyways, it does seem like it's worth trying.
If you're too lazy t replace SSD, the native btrfs support of Bazzite might do the trick :p
I've been looking for an immutable, gaming ready distribution for a while and taking a closer look at bazzite it just might fit the bill perfectly! I don't even mean only for the deck necessarily, strongly considering replacing the Nobara install on my main PC and see how well it handles my NVIDIA card 🤔
If I ever get a Steam Deck, I'll definitely be willing to try Bazzite. Hell, when I update my laptop to something with a lot better hardware, I'll be sure to try this in a virtual machine and try it with Waydroid.
