    hoping that it would be SteamOS but without the immutability

    Didn’t read about it first, eh?

    with “gamemode” equivalent being quite broken

    It’s not equivalent, it is gamemode. I used Bazzite at v2.4 and had a great time. Dunno why you had issues, but you’re the first person I’ve heard of that had issues like that. Weird.

    I wonder if your installer was corrupted or something.

      the biggest lol thing that happened was when I went to connect to my Wi-Fi and there was no way to enter the password. The password prompt showed up, but there was no connect button after entering it. Had to use wired connection via USB-C adapter to get past the initial setup.

        Yeah something got fucked up. That’s a standard KDE thing and has been forever. The installer Bazzite (and their other distros) uses is the default Fedora one, so either your downloaded file was corrupted, or perhaps the USB stick you used has some kind of hardware instability.

        The latter case is common enough that some distros have included a USB test option before proceeding to install. Anyway, sorry you had a bad experience. That’s truly strange.

          I’m talking about the SteamOS-style OOTB experience, not KDE wifi manager.

            Gotcha. It’s really bizarre that you had two core features not work correctly several versions after they made the OLED an officially supported model. Not saying you did anything wrong, but it still sounds like something got corrupted somehow.

            Weird. Whatever you’re using now, hopefully you’re having fun, because that’s the important part.
