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.
Think about it like this: they just want a PB&J because it's quick, simple, and works for them and you're telling them to go out to the store and get ingredients to make a salad because it's quick, simple, and works for you.
You're both right. You can eat your salad and they can eat their PB&J and all will be well in Linuxland. That's the beauty of it.
