Bazzite is a open source Linux distribution that is designed as an alternative to Valve's SteamOS 3. [1] [2] [3] Bazzite is based on Fedora Linux rather than Arch Linux. [4] It offers support for PC handheld devices, including the Steam Deck. [5] [6] [7] [8] Bazzite is named after the mineral, as Fedora Atomic Desktops once had a mineral naming scheme. [9]
