Even in my motherboard’s BIOS, the Windows bootloader is no longer showing up. I’m wondering if by removing what used to be my primary Windows install, it also removed the Windows bootloader. I still have a USB with a live install of Windows, can I use that to re-add the Windows bootloader?

Thank you for the help BTW! It’s much appreciated.

One of my two separate 2TB SSds running Bazzite is my boot drive. I have 2 more seperate physical drives, a 1TB running Windows and a 2TB running CachyOS.

Edit: Not sure if it matters, but my 2TB SSD running (what used to be my primary Windows install) CachyOS is in the first NVME slot, my other 2TB SSD running Bazzite (primary boot option) is in the 2nd NVME slot and the 1TB SSD running Windows is in the 3rd NVME slot.

Oh I didn’t know that, thank you!

I’ve been running bazzite for about 6 months now, daily driving for about 5 months and its never once broken on me. During boot, you’re presented with 4 snapshots you can choose between so if an update did happen to break something, it’s easy as just choosing an older snapshot after a reboot. No idea why that commenter thinks it’s hard tbh.

I’m running it on a 7600x and a 6700XT GPU. Everything just worked out of the box for me, steam games work perfectly 99% of the time in my experience, and when you run into an issue just go to protondb and you’ll probably find the fix there.

Games run through lutris can be annoying at times, the EA app and battle.net games glitch out on me much more than steam games, but they do work, just gotta tinker with proton and wine versions till it runs.

Highly recommend bazzite, I love it after being a life long Windows user.

I know how to use all my OS’ to access my media library, I have a 12TB HDD that contains all my TV shows and movies, I just want to be able to carry over my watch history on Plex. I’d switch to Jellyfin, but AFAIK they don’t have an app for Xbox which both my brother and mom use to access my library, that’s why I’m stuck on Plex.

I’ve heard about running Plex media server in docker, how do I go about doing that and keeping my current data and watch history? I’m sorry, I’m still fairly new to Linux despite using it for 5 months so I’d appreciate any help!

In a perfect world I would have a seperate PC to run Plex media server, but I can’t afford a 2nd PC to act as a server so I’m stuck using my main desktop as my media server. I just want to be able to keep my watch history between different installations of Linux.

Thanks for the help though! Much appreciated!

I’ve been daily driving Bazzite for about 3 months now and am really enjoying it. It’s a gaming focused ‘immutable’ distro.

I was planning to delete a bunch of stuff off of my old Windows drive anyways, so I’ll just backup my important stuff that I wanna keep and then do a fresh reinstall on the new SSD so that I can wipe the old 2TB SSD Windows used to live on. Even 1TB is being generous but I’d rather have too much space than not enough!

There’s nothing terribly important on there, it’s mainly just my modded Bethesda games I’ve put a lot of effort into that I’m to lazy to recreate under Linux so I’d rather just keep a small Windows disk alive for when I feel like playing them and for any edge cases that pop up that require me to use Windows.

Thank you for the answer!

Thank you for the help! It’s very much appreciated.

True, that could be helpful but I don’t have enough faith in the average person for it to work out well tbh. I’d love to be wrong though!

In a perfect world that would be great, but there’s enough people there that the tired overused jokes would be voted to the top just like on reddit IMO. Even the various astronomy sub’s are terrible for having tons of shitty jokes over actual information.

Yes, I’m aware of that.

Should’ve or should have

Sorry, that’s one of my pet peeves lol

That’s very useful information, I’ll try that when I’m back at my pc. Thank you!

I’m kinda mixed on it so far, I feel like I should’ve gone with something like Endeavour OS or something similar. Using a more commonly used distro would simplify troubleshooting and provide a bigger user base to siphon information from. I don’t have any problems with Bazzite but I’m kinda feeling like I’m missing out by not using something a bit more complex tbh.

I’ve read about rpm-ostree and my impression is I’d rather not use it to install anything if I can avoid it, which also feeds into my desire to use a different distro.

Bazzite comes pre-installed with distrobox and boxbuddy, I’ll need to put more effort into learning how to use it. I’ve read up on the basics of it but I haven’t yet put in the effort to fully understand that program.

I’ll check out that video, thank you for the link. I also wanted to say that you’ve been a massive help and I greatly appreciate all of your help that you’ve provided me! Thank you!

I’m perfectly fine with that, in fact I’d like to learn more about how to use the terminal in detail cause I find it fun. Part of why I switched to Linux is because I’m bored of Windows, among many other issues it has these days. Learning a new OS is fun, I’m enjoying my time with Linux so far.

You’re the 2nd person to bring up my choice of Bazzite, I don’t have much installed yet so I’m open to switching to another distro if that’ll make things easier for what I want my system to do. I almost installed Endeavour OS but ended up going with Bazzite because I’ve heard that Arch distros can be a pain to keep up, but I’m speaking out of ignorance, I still know barely anything about Linux.

Basically I want something at least somewhat stable for a Linux noob, but I don’t want something like Ubuntu or Linux mint, I’d prefer a more “intermediate” distro over a beginner one like the previously mentioned distros. Building Arch from scratch is a bit much for me for example, but I don’t want it overly simplified either. What would you recommend for a distro?

Thank you, I’ll look into that and see if that works for me!

Yes I’m trying to install the Plex media server app so that I don’t have to boot back into windows whenever I or my family wants to use Plex. I don’t have a dedicated server so I just install it on my main pc. Still haven’t figured out how to get it installed tbh, any help on that front would be much appreciated!

Absolute rookie mistake by me to not go to the source for information first, that’s my bad. Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link, I should’ve browsed there before asking my questions, lots of good info there.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for the detailed response, it’s very helpful! Browsing through the discover store is actually fun, like the good old days of checking out random programs on windows before everything went to shit.

Thanks again, it’s much appreciated!

Nier Automata has, IMO, the best story to exist in game format. Gameplay itself isn’t anything special but it’s fun enough to keep you engaged, but the story is the real reason to play this game.

Can’t recommend this game enough.
