Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven't looked back.

I’m really happy to see Bazzite climbing the chart. It’s by far the best gaming-centric Linux distro.

I’m not sure I will ever understand the appeal of Linux Mint. Not because it’s bad, but because there are better distros for every use-case I can think up, especially gaming.

Mint is very plain and simple, which makes it the most non-threatening transition from Windows for casual users. It's also one of the most well rounded distros. Sure, other distros can do specific things better, but Mint deserves its flowers for its polish.

Yeah, bazzite, or any atomic distro, is not something I would recommend to someone coming from windows. It's just too different in some ways.

Been running bazzite myself as a fairly experienced linux user and love it though.

I found it easy to transition to as a new linux user. I'm curious what you think makes it too different.
