From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The fact people suggest anything fedora based to new users is even more baffling then suggesting pure arch.
Fedora loves to just randomly destroy itself every so often. Hell they are currently thinking of doing it right now!
If your going to do a gamer distro like bazzite as a gamer your objectively better off just going with cachyOS.
It's literally the same base as steam OS, has half the problems. And wont just implode because fedora decides to change something stupid yet again.
even my parents and grandparents are on bazzite which massively reduced my family tech support work, but it seems like fedora is indeed being fedora again and discussions are for dropping 32 bit which would be troubling for gamers still.
