Genuine question, what was "unexpected/weird" for you?

I don't disagree, in fact I'm in a similar situation coming to Bazzite from Windows. But I'd like to know what your experience has been like so far, Maybe I will learn something.

My own personal gripe is that they removed Discover in favor of their own store "bazzar" and I feel its just worse in every way so I tried to put it back and now Discover will "launch" and immediately crash.

    Monitor snapping issues (program opens on the wrong monitor and figuring out how to force it somewhere else), VPN program not working because it's an immutable distro, Stream deck unexpected behaviour (What functions can it use, sometimes it disconnected on a different usb hub) etc. Also some incompatibilities, can't use fusion 360 (didn't work at all last time i tried it)

    There are a few others but those come to mind.

    I have found Proton VPN works for me none of the others I've tried seem to function. I'm using it on a my livingroom pc so I don't have any input on the steam deck specific issues, in fact I prefer Steam OS and I wish there was an official desktop release already.
