    I was running Bazzite for several months before I switched back to Windows. Unfortunately for me I have a broadcom wifi adapter, it kept disconnecting every 10-15 minutes, and that doesn’t bode well for gaming. Outside of that I really enjoyed using it! At least my steamdeck counts towards usage of Linux…

      usually you need to try out a few distros to find one that works perfectly with your hardware. always test them in live usb before installing to make sure that wifi, sound, etc works correctly.

      Broadcom drivers are a PITA even with akmods or dkms

      Had similar issues where card would just randomly disconnect, although for some reason never when it was under load.

      Even followed the Arch wiki and tried some alternative driver modules with no luck

      Luckily it was a desktop so I eventually just switched to ethernet
