Bearings Linux app

You are here

Find your footing on a
brand-new Bazzite.

Switching to Linux means a hundred small “wait, where is…?” moments. Bearings sits on your desktop and answers them: what things are called now, what's worth setting up first, and where everything lives, without sending you spelunking through wikis.

What's inside

#Your old world, translated.

  • ✦Familiar Territory. Type what you knew on macOS or Windows; get what it's called here and where it lives.
  • ✦The Checklist. A first-week setup list that respects your time: essentials first, rabbit holes clearly marked.
  • ✦The Deck. Bazzite's handheld side, covered without making the desktop feel second-class.
  • ✦Search. Everything above, one keystroke away.
  • ✦Fresh content, strictly opt-in. A toggle can fetch updated content from public GitHub so answers stay current between releases. Off by default, always your call.

At a glance, then the details

#Privacy

Collected
Nothing.No telemetry, no usage stats, no crash reports phoning home.
Shared
With no one.There's no server of mine, so there's nowhere to share to.
Lives
On your computer.Settings and data sit in ordinary local files.
Ads & trackers
Zero.No ad code, no analytics code, no third-party requests.
Internet use
Only if you opt in.The content-update toggle fetches versioned files from public GitHub. Off by default.
Delete it all
Uninstall. Done.Remove the app and its folder; nothing lingers anywhere else.

When updates are on, the fetch is a plain HTTPS request to GitHub, which sees standard technical data like your IP address under GitHub's own policy. The request names a content file and nothing about you.

Not directed at children under 13, and no data is knowingly collected from anyone, because no data is collected at all.

Built and carried by one person. If software made this way matters to you, there's a place to stand behind it. Either way, it's yours.
