Hi all,

I’m very much a Linux newbie. I originally read that Nobara was great for gaming (and it is) but I’ve read even better things about Bazzite and want to give it a whirl.

My question is, am I able to download it to a usb and just do a clean install without issues or do I have to do anything beforehand. I originally installed Nobara using btrfs if that makes any difference.

Like I said I’m really new at this, hopefully it’s ok to post this here but if not please let me know where would be more appropriate.

      The partition manager should be KDE Partition Manager on the KDE Bazzite, and Disks on the GNOME Bazzite (I don’t think GParted is installed by default)

      That’s the thing that has me worried, deleting partitions. A long time ago (15 years or so) I deleted a partition in windows and it really messed everything up, that’s what has made me question whether it is a simple case of just running the Bazzite installer and it holding my hand all the way.

      I’m planning on doing it next weekend as this weekend just became busy. No doubt I’ll be back here asking more questions.

      Thanks to everyone who has responded so far it’s been very helpful.

    Flash a USB, install the same way you did before: by using the whole disk and thus erasing whatever was in it before.

    Have fun! Bazzite is probably the best gaming distro out there.
