| Hi, I'm the founder. While what you're saying isn't impossible, it's unlikely. In the event it did happen, Bazzite is a fork, a signing key, and a couple forked Fedora Copr repos away from being made completely in someone else's control. |

| Weren’t you threatening to shutdown Bazzite just a few months ago? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44381265 |

| ▲ | KyleGospo 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | No, my statement was Fedora was about to shoot itself in the foot and that it'd be easier for Bazzite to not exist than for us to clean up their mess. Note that this was in a change proposal which was rescinded without a vote by it's proposer. | | |
| ▲ | ffsm8 an hour ago | parent [-] | | Mmh, you definitely misremember that > As much as I’d like this change to happen, it’s too soon. This change would kill off projects like Bazzite entirely right as Fedora is starting to make major headway in the gaming space. > I’m speaking as it’s founder, if this change is actually made as it is written the best option for us is to just go ahead and disband the project. Now, whenever you would've actually shut down the project is a different story, but your messaging was very clear. | | |

The messaging was very clear that the upstream change would make Bazzite almost untenable. It was a criticism of Fedora, not a threat to quit. | |
| ▲ | KyleGospo 17 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | No that appears to be directly in line with what I said. What's missing here is your understanding of a proposal vs an actual change Fedora is going to make. | |
| ▲ | dralley an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | What is the point of this line of questioning? They stated that the proposal as-written would make maintaining projects like Bazzite untenable. That's a valid thing to say and not that much of a "threat", but even if it were, most people involved here is effectively unpaid and can do whatever they want with their time. | | |
| ▲ | parsimo2010 an hour ago | parent [-] | | The point is the original commenter said there’s a risk of these kinds of projects getting shut down. The creator chimed in and claimed there wasn’t much risk, and then someone posted comments from the same creator in the recent past talking about shutting the project down if an upstream change was made, validating the original comment and making the creator sound less valid. |

If nothing else, the only way these problems ever get solved is by bringing them up, surfacing the issues and providing an impetus to get them solved. | | | |
| ▲ | sunshowers 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | No? Clearly outlining the pitfalls of a proposal is not a threat. |

| Oh no I didn't mean as a personal attack or anything so thanks for taking your time and for the reply! I know the chances are miniscule but there is that 1% in the back of my brain because it happened in the past with some distros I've really liked |

| ▲ | KyleGospo 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | You're good -- didn't take it as one. It's an important question to ask. | |
| ▲ | mendyberger an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Can happen to corporate projects as well. As one example, look at how many projects Google has killed. |

| I don't doubt it, but I actually really hate that the build system is a bunch of bash scripts, github actions and assuming the previous stage builds fine. Especially when the custom image forkable repo has an action commented out to squeeze more temporary storage out of GHA hosted runners because some images don't even fit on those (like the gnome-deck). I wish the entire setup was a little more decoupled and maybe allowed you to build multiple stages in one go so the entire system was more "forkable" and less spread out. I went on a bit of a wild goose chase trying to build Bazzite without the Firefox RPM removed (rpm-ostree doesn't like adding and removing and then adding packages again). I did voice that concern in some Bazzite-related spaces before and it felt like it got brushed off with a weird undertone. |

| @KyleGospo, Any plans for an arm64 version? |
| |
| ▲ | KyleGospo 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yes, it'll happen eventually. I can't promise it'll be a good gaming experience anytime soon though. | | |
| ▲ | wlesieutre 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | With the upcoming Steam Frame relying on FEX, Valve will be throwing a bunch of money making it work well |
