I switched to Bazzite based on a recommendation and it's been a fantastic OS for me (gaming and light development/home labbing) and I no longer have any desire to distro hop.

Took a bit to figure out the immutable stuff for some very niche things I needed done, but other than that ezpz

    Without having tried it, I think Bazzite fits a certain user group very well, but is less suited for other users. Which is fine.

    I don't really see how it's particularly good for homelabbing, but use whatever works for you.

    I'm assuming by that he meant as a distro for his personal PC that he uses to SSH into his home lab or access the web interfaces. Not to run on the servers

    This is correct.

    I didn't pick it for home labbing as a primary as I mostly use that machine for gaming, but just to show how well it works overall as a general purpose OS. I did end up switching over to their Dx branch for updates so that helped for some of that stuff as well.

    The person who replied to you is correct. I meant as a machine to write scripts on, manage servers, etc. I do agree though Bazzite probably isn't the best for everyone, but that's what is great about Linux, there is a OS for everyone
