Is there a comparison table between HoloISO, ChimeraOS, Bazzite? (self.linux_gaming)

If not, would anyone help me build one ?

I was thinking of using git and markdown or google sheets.

Apart from ovbious features, it would need to compare TDP control, and benchmarks.

UPDATE: First version is up, and open to issues & PRs. Please contribute! Link https://github.com/berserkwarwolf/SteamOS-alternatives-overview

I tried all of them and none can handle adding custom kernel modules properly. The longest I spent was on Bazzite, because I could build my custom rpm for akmods, but then it has issues sometimes that the image was built with newer kernel than available and it fails due to being unable to install kernel modules. Long story short it requires full image build. The viable solution would be to ask devs to include the driver I need in their akmods collection, but that’s some random github fork of old driver removed from mainline kernel long time ago. I’d much rather have ability to add that myself.

I tried Nobara and used its gamescope-session package. It’s just as complete as Bazzite and the final touches are far easier to get. It’s still traditional Fedora, but gaming and HTPC ready almost out of the box.
