Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven’t looked back.

      Fedora is great but installing nvidia drivers is just enough of a hassle for most people to skip over it and choose a derivative like Bazzite

        Also codecs… even with the right repositories enabled, you’ll tend to install a media application that manages to be utterly incapable of actually processing most media.

        They’ve made strides on this front but it’s still messed up.

        Also sometimes they are too aggressive on one front. Some of the applications you can install from their repository that have some python based features are broken because they can’t handle python 3.13. There’s some ability to install python 3.12 but without much beyond the core making it less useful.

        I tried Bazzite and found the hassle of installing anything that needed to be in a container to be greater than installing Nvidia drivers on Fedora.
