5 reasons you should use Bazzite instead of Windows on your gaming PC

Windows has dominated the PC gaming landscape for decades, but the Steam Deck's introduction by Valve, which runs on Linux, has prompted a shift. Bazzite is a solution that replicates the Steam OS experience on any PC, offering an alternative to Windows for gamers. It provides better privacy by eliminating mandatory Microsoft accounts and intrusive ads. Bazzite supports most modern PC games through Proton, allowing many titles to run effectively, and some games may even perform better on Bazzite, especially those using Vulkan. It also facilitates retro gaming through EmuDeck, simplifying setup for various platforms. Bazzite is designed for controller-based gaming, allowing users to navigate games comfortably without needing a keyboard and mouse.
