Looks like nothing at all…. I know when I looked back a year or so ago people deterred me due to Nvidia drivers not being well supported.

Had a read up on Bazzite last night and it looks just the ticket ! :)

Thanks for the reply (and thanks to everyone that responded). Going to install on my desktop, laptop and handhelds as of tomorrow :)

I yes, I should have mentioned the distro+hardware on this system is Mint with an AMD CPU and 6900XT GPU. AMD drivers are pretty well supported in Linux. I also run some Debian systems which do well, though I've not tried VR on them

There can be some issues with Nvidia cards due to proprietary drivers but I've heard they're now supporting a FOSS driver in newer cards so as long as you've got one of those you should be good.

Awesome thank you.... Did a little digging and I think I'm good. I have a 4070ti desktop card and 3070ti mobile both seem to be solid.

I have actually used mint previously. I use Linux a lot but not as an os per se. I'm a developer for a living and the bulk of disks I spin up are Linux based. Different use case but hopefully some of that knowledge will transfer :)
