This isn't Debian. It has a live image that comes with Nvidia drivers so you can have these from the start too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] IratePirate@feddit.org 1 point 6 months ago Bazzite has closed source software preinstalled? Yikes I get the sentiment. That said, if you want to do "gaming", there's no way around proprietary software for the time being, since both titles and some drivers are and will continue to be proprietary. Regardless, running some FOSS is already better than none. So if Bazzite helps wean people off proprietary Windows, why not? permalink fedilink source parent
