Fedora Smooth, Bazzite Slick, Windows… Still Windows | Linux Out Loud 109

In this episode of Linux Out Loud, we explore the latest in Linux hardware experiments, distro discoveries, and creative workflows. Wendy walks through her setup with Fedora 41 and DaVinci Resolve, Matt dives into Windows frustrations, and Nate teases his excitement about trying out Bazzite, even before getting hands-on with the OneXPlayer.
We chat about eGPU setups, Wayland oddities, 3D printer troubleshooting with Mainsail and NGINX, and highlight the unique challenges (and wins) of gaming on Linux—like Dark Envoy. It’s a lively mix of tech insights, problem-solving, and distro excitement—all wrapped in open-source goodness.
