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.

It protects against system breakage and malware because the core of the OS is sealed and updates can only fully complete or fully fail, you can't have a half-uodated system like Ubuntu would be if you unplugged the PC half way through.

And because your apps and commandline tools are sandboxed with Flatpak and toolbox/distrobox so malware getting in through one doesn't compromise the whole system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
