I’m considering Bazzite for a Win 10 machine that I only use to play Steam games. Really hoping that it “just works” for most of my library.
Could I consider any game that is Steam Deck Verified will work fine? Am I likely to run into a ton of issues? I game exclusively with a wireless XBone controller.
idk, but I use Ubuntu and pretty much everything on Steam works for me. I’ve only ever come across three games I wanted to and couldn’t play, two of them are Epic gacha trash, and the other one’s Skyrim with dll mods (non-dll mods work fine).
Steam Deck Verified games should be fine, and a lot of non-Verified games were only downgraded to “Playable” because of issues that may not matter on a desktop, like small text (what’s small on a Steam Deck screen may not be small on a monitor) or needing to manually trigger the on-screen keyboard (a desktop is usually accompanied by a physical keyboard).
I’m clueless about Linux, so I tried it. It seems to be just working for me for most of my Steam library, at least with Proton Experimental. I don’t have a XBone controller, but my SteelSeries knockoff does fine. That said, I have no idea what might cause it to break. (Though, it doesn’t seem to like my mechanical hard drives much.)

I think the controller is the least compatible thing there.
(I use bazzite, btw ;) )
I do have a Steam controller which would probably be a suitable replacement.
Is there a different controller that works better for you?
The xbone controller works fine, just make sure it’s bluetooth. Not sure if the wireless dongle thing would work.
