Going to test bazzite - what should I know?

Greetings! I’m rebuilding my old gaming-focused beast. I’ve got parts coming today (new mobo, cpu, ram, and cooling unit, everything else I hope t…

The only issue I had was on bazzite 41, the automated media creator refused to make functional install media. I installed silverbpue first, then rebased with no issues. Its been good for almost a year now and runs everything I have tried except pubg.
I don’t know what rebase means. When you say install media, do you mean like a live USB? I legit don’t even remember how I made the Ubuntu one, now that I think of it..

You don’t need to learn about rebase, but if you want to: bazzite is built on top of ublue, which is built on top of fedora. Atomic uses layers and images, like docker containers, which means when they install stuff they add layers with what they want to add. Since they share foundations, you can switch between them with a single command. Basically it would be like if you installed Debian, but wanted to switch to Ubuntu. You could run a single command to “rebase” then when you reboot you would be switched over.

You’re correct, live USB or install media are the same thing in this context.
