Anyone out there know if it'd be easy to install #Bazzite on a small partition to test game performance on my Windows install?

What I'm envisioning:

Bazzite booted -> mount Windows 11 partition -> access steamapps via Steam -> run the game on Bazzite.

Or is that incoherent and I'm a fool?

Ideally, testing out Bazzite wouldn't require me managing my "Proton" games separately from my "Must be Windows" games, and I could just use the installs I already have.

@ark Yep, i mounted ntfs gamedrive & added it to steam & games run like on windows. U need to mount correctly though! I used Ubuntu & mounted the drive in fstab. Ntfs isnt ideal & i had minor issues! Bazzite wasnt ideal as i am not so familiar with fedora & Bazzite is a bit locked down.

U should also get glorious eggroll proton if a game run poorly. I found out that i only had two games that didnt work. Basically all games i threw at it has been running perfect, 300+ games! Check ProtonDB!

@ark if Bazzate is easy to install on the same drive as windows and how good bazzite is to partition i am not sure about. Bazzite is more tinkerproof as it set up like the steamdeck. That comes with certain things that u cannot do in some shady gaming areas as some things were missing. But Bazzite as a system is pretty nice! I am amazed that 99% of the games i have thrown at it runs beautifull. Check your important games on steamdb!
@ark It's not recommended to run games from NTFS in bazzite: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/auto-mounting-secondary-drives/970

@dcbaok sadness. I'm thinking I'll be using EndeavorOS, now that I've done more research.
