I really do suggest using Bazzite if you don't want to wait for steamOS.

I previously used Mint, haven't had to install an nvidia graphics driver or new kernel since moving to Bazzite and I'm now learning distrobox so I can make my usual bad computing decisions in a safe space. Its a very stable base, and with container tech layered on, you can have all the fuck around you want with minimal find out.

    Is it true? I've been lately looking out for a new atomic distro but I've heard it seems it's not developer friendly with the sandboxing and extra efforts to get apt/rpm working. I am relatively new to Linux and stuck with Mint for now so I can't add anything to it.

    Depends what you want to do.

    On distrobox, I installed a containerised version of Ubuntu that can interact with my host, sort of like WSL on windows. Anything I put in it remains isolated so I can't install packages that break my system - and I can use apt to install whatever in want rather than rpm.

    You could develop in a VM or container like distrobox, and tbh, the host can be whatever you need it to be. You dont actually have to move off Mint.

    That being said, I dont see why you couldn't just develop on Bazzite/atomic distros of your choice using flatpaks for IDEs. I believe it has c++ installed and you'd be able to layer whatever language you needed onto your atomic distro of choice.
