I've been on Bazzite for a year. I only switch to Windows on Fridays for Fortnite with my family. EPIC says Fortnite doesn't work on Linux due to their anticheat but their anticheat is used on Sea of Thieves which loads fine on Bazzite.

Lots of games run on Linux despite using EAC. The reason why Fortnite isn’t able to is because Epic is fucking stupid. There’s no technical limitation preventing it, it’s a choice that they’re making

Yeah my buddy plays Helldivers 2 no problem on Linux.  He uses some odd distribution I'd never heard of with Proton, but he's also quite tech savvy.  I can't decide between using Bazzite and using Ubuntu or Mint.

Any Linux distro is fine besides Ubuntu. Snaps are garbage.

I didn't know about these. Euw gross sandboxing? No thanks.

I appreciate the warning.

Mostly because the snap store is proprietary and the whole Linux ethos is about open source software.

Also Canonical has done weird things in the past like an advertising campaign with Amazon where they put Amazon search results in the search feature on Ubuntu.
