The current gnome (3) is very different from previous versions. You might like a modern fork of gnome, like mate. Don't let something that has a gnome connection turn you off right away if all you've seen is gnome 3.

    I... don't think Bazzite has a... mate flavor/spin/variant?

    I think its just KDE or GNOME?

    if on cachyos you get like 12+ de options which is nice when initially testing them all out, just demo each for a while

    Thats neat, I didn't know that!

    Yeah, a benefit of arch based distros is that they are much, much more customizable than other OSs... downside of that though is that there are a whole lot more bugs that can happen, whole lot more crazy custom solutions that may need to be figured out.

    I've not used Cachy, but I have used Arch before... if the Cachy people can figure out a way to keep all that just generally more stable, honestly kudos to them!

    Bazzite basically narrows its official support scope so they can focus on a feature set that 'just works'... I am sure I could figure out how to torture a Bazzite install to work with a non KDE / Gnome DE, but it would be a lot of work.

    Or maybe it could set it up with the built in distrobox/distroshelf tools? Not sure, never futzed with a different DE in a distrobox.
