# Using Bazzite

Bazzite is a Fedora Atomic (immutable) Linux distribution optimized for gaming, with special editions for Steam Deck, handheld PCs, and HTPCs. This skill navigates the complete Bazzite documentation to answer usage and configuration questions.

**Key commands:** `ujust` (system tasks) | `rpm-ostree` (system packages) | `flatpak` (apps) | `distrobox` (containers)

**Update:** System updates automatically; manual: `ujust update`

## How to Use This Skill

1. Identify user intent from the topic index below
2. Read the relevant doc file(s) from the `docs/src/` subdirectory (paths are relative to this skill's directory)
3. Answer using the documentation content

**Always read docs before answering** - don't rely on general knowledge about Bazzite.

## Bazzite Image Variants

Users must choose the correct image. Key decision points:

| Question | Image Type |
|----------|------------|
| Desktop/laptop without Steam Gaming Mode? | `bazzite` or `bazzite-gnome` |
| Need Nvidia GPU support? | Add `-nvidia` (legacy) or `-nvidia-open` (RTX/GTX 16+) |
| Want Steam Gaming Mode (console-like)? | `bazzite-deck` variants |
| Software development focus? | Rebase to `bazzite-dx` |

**Check current image:** `rpm-ostree status`

For detailed image selection, read `docs/src/General/FAQ.md` (see "What Bazzite image do I use?")
