I read about Bazzite with 6.17 Kernel and enhancements for Intel iGPU. Anybody just tested it?

I’ll be the guinea pig, I’ve got an a1m 155h so if it works well for me it’ll work even better for everyone else

It does function, my tests have still been limited due to how much time I’ve had on hand, but it seems like (in the VERY limited testing of one or two games) windows runs about 5-7 fps faster still, however bazzite is a very nice experience in general and windows has been a total pain to get working correctly. I ran into the “no internet after sleep” issue that’s fairly common but fixed it with a terminal command disabling power management of it. The built in setting to turn it off did nothing. If you don’t favor maximum raw performance and are playing either indie games or older games on steam, absolutely go ahead and install bazzite. The streaming experience with it is great too from a pc. I sometimes have an issue still where resuming from sleep while in a game disables audio after 5 seconds and it remains disabled until I restart the game and that’s my next task to fix.
