It's got most stuff on it. They'd include the entire repo if they could, but a dvd only fits 8gb.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder what percentage of the downloaders burned a DVD to boot the ISO. I have to imgaine almost everyone is using USB sticks these days.

Was it more convenient or was it not bootable from USB? Bootable from USB started becoming common about 20 years ago, I'm surprised Bazzite even works on machines that old.

It does, but runs a bit slow. Switched it to Garuda xfce after.

I don't know if it was faster or slower than USB 2.0 Speeds

Gives you more comparability on pen drives, too. Lots of people probably have a 8gb stick lying around, people are somewhat less likely to have a bigger one.
