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.

    Deleting partitions shouldn’t mess up anything, unless the partition was still in use by something else.

    So if you have a disk that is just used for Nobora, deleting all the disks partitions will not mess up anything. If you have multiboot from the same disk then yes, you have to be a bit careful to not mess up whatever you want to not delete.

    But as I said this is just to make extra sure. First try just installing Bazzite over Nobora, it should probably delete everything. If not, then you can delete partitions and reinstall again.
