This is great. Honest people like Steve and Wendell are great for Linux. Let's make sure, as a community, we don't give them a hard time about their distro of choice. I think bazzite is an excellent choice to start until they get comfortable digging deeper into the system.

    Not everyone wants or needs to dig deeper though. If Bazzite meets all of someone's needs, good. The vast majority of people want an OS that just works out of the box.

    Very true. I guess I could have phrased it better. But you're right, not everyone needs to dig deeper into Linux, a lot of us want to just enjoy their system that just works. I'm actually one of those people.

    lol the truth comes out. I just wanna stay as close to Windows as would be comfortable without Microsoft's telemetry, personally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Wendell uses cachyOs on his channel.

    He also mentioned Cachy as a viable option for Steve alongside Baszzite, with the caveats on both. I'm glad Steve decided on Bazzite. I'm a Cachy OS user myself, but I still like Bazzite for the purpose Steve needs it for. I think it'll be great and I hope he succeeds, genuinely

    I ran Arch for about a year and a half. It's great, you get the freedom to do anything you want provided you have the time and will to learn. Bazzite is the exact opposite: you can't do everything you might want, but you don't need to learn anything, you can carelessly play around in the little playground they setup for you.

    I use Bazzite on my 2 desktop PCs, Aurora on my work laptop booting from an external 1tb nvme ssd via an usb-C m2 caddy.

    It's pure bliss. I freaking love it. If Ublue ever disappears I'm fucked.

    I agree and I want someone to tell them about dx12 bug from nvidia and ray tracing perf on amd gpus(not sure about this one).
