Upstream images vs bazzite: https://github.com/ublue-os/countme/blob/main/growth_upstream_with_bazzite.svg

My prediction: bazzite may have more installs than Fedora KDE by the end of the year.

Bazzite is the only OS on my desktop, and I use it as a regular PC (meaning not game console), and everything works great.

And no, I didn't have to tinker with anything to play.

Unless you consider mounting drives in Steam the first time around, tinkering.

Ok? You dont have to "tinker with anything to play" on other distros either.

You said there's extra troubleshooting, which has not been my experience whatsoever.

Yeah but thats no different to a normal distro. Normal distros dont just randomly require troubleshooting they are pretty stable given that regressions are caught upstream and bazzite is based off fedora stable.

The majority of linux troubleshooting is when you're trying to get something new working (like a game/software/device) and that will always be extra on non standard distros like bazzite. I would consider this changed once bazzite specific guides/scripts are commonplace.
