I was forced into using SteamOS because my puter broked. Can i just install it on my desktop after it's fixed? Can i make a regular Linux as plug-and-play as steamos? (hexbear.net)

Nah disagree, I used it for everything on my pc, I can even use custom firmware, like I do for my 5.4 Bluetooth dongle. They even have a developer image called Bazzite-DX

    If you're going to all the effort of installing extra packages and custom firmware what does bazzite give you that fedora doesn't?

    I mean Bazzite is basically a heavily modified Fedora Atomic image, but for me a lot actually, better out of the box experience, I don't have to install a bunch of stuff I would already download, OGC kernel, a bunch of gaming first tweaks and tools, easy rollback into multiple previous versions if needed (I had to use this for a while actually), easy access to the previous image if an update goes bad directly on grub, easy tpm2 setup, secure boot support out of the box, easier upgrade from one major version to another (instead of doing an upgrade from fedora 43 to 44, a simple update takes you from bazzite 43 to 44) and great stability on a rolling release model.

    And there's probably more I'm forgetting right now.
