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.

Mint feels a little sloppy, though.

I would much rather suggest Bluefin, which is from the same group as Bazzite. And if you are a fan of KDE (or a more Windows-like UI), then Aurora is an excellent one, too.

They are all atomic, so users can't really mess them up.

    Bazzite > Bluefin > Aurora in usership from what I've seen. I started on Bazzite KDE but ended up staying with Aurora.

    Yes, Bazzite and Bluefin are more popular for sure. But I like Aurora as a daily driver (more for power users), and have Bluefin installed in other laptops and our TV's miniPC for its "Chrome OS" feel and simplicity.

    But any option is better than Mint, IMO. Mint feels unfinished and was not very stable. Aurora and Bluefin are the only linux distros that I haven't broken in 24h. LOL
