      It’s gamer-friendly in the sense that it comes with all you need for gaming by default. You can game on any major distro without problems.

      Personally I’m not a fan of bazzite because of its “immutable” approach but that’s a personal preference.

        I was put off by the immutability too, as a long-time Linux user, but it turns out it doesn’t really make much of a difference. You just install things slightly differently, the biggest drawback so far are the interoperability issues with flatpaks, 'cause, you know, sandbox and all, but it’s really minor tbh.

        On the other hand it’s very polished and convenient for most things, so much it converted me after an eternity on Fedora.

    Hey that’s me! I’m one of those 5k new installs!

    I ran a mix of Xubuntu and Linux Mint full time for a few years but switched back to Windows just a few weeks before Valve started releasing the crazy updates to proton in the lead up to the Steam Deck launch. I have one laptop which still has the same Linux Mint install that I did a few years ago too! But I ultimately switched back because a couple of games I enjoy were either a royal pain on Linux or did not work at all, plus I’d tinkered with my installs to death so they all had some wild issues that I never could pin down.

    Decided with the Windows 10 EOL date that I’d try out Bazzite and see if I liked it, and honestly I expected to have found a blocker by now but everything I keep trying keeps working flawlessly, and I even got a couple of 25 year old games that don’t even work on Windows working flawlessly on Linux with just a couple of toggle switches in Proton
