    I disagree. Keep in mind that most people seeing the benchmarks will be windows users, and seeing Bazzite’s gaming performance along with it’s reputation for simplicity to set up and may help convince them to switch. Plus, anyone that had experience with Linux will know the link between it and Fedora, and can adjust expectations for theur particular distro

      As someone using bazzite, it just works out of the box and I think that’s exactly what a lot of the windows uses are looking for.

      I disagree sort of. I find it hard to believe a new distro is easier to set up than mint or Ubuntu and when it comes time to troubleshoot, youll get less support than the upstreams. Both searching existing posts and making new posts there will be less answers. Unless you make a search fo the upstream, and then there’s a chance your distro tweaked something and it’s different.

      What also makes me sus is that if influencers are promoting lesser-known distros, it might be paid. Which is fine but could mean plans to monetize that distro in the future.

        As opposed to Cannonical, which has been making slow pushes over the years to control Linux via Snaps?

        Mint is easier to setup than Ubuntu, and not only it’s newer, it’s based on Ubuntu. Ubuntu also is easier to setup than Debian even though it’s newer and based on it. Being a new distro has nothing to do with being easy to setup.

        Bazzite is special because it’s an immutable distro, so it’s highly unlikely you’ll break stuff by poking around.

        You may find it hard to believe but that doesnt mean you are right. Most ditros are quite easy to set up. Ubuntu and Mint are both already modified Debian. Why not some other modified one? A distro modified to game is already set up for gaming.

        I’ve been using linux since the late 90s. I’ve tried all major distributions. My gaming rig runs bazzite, and nothing else comes even close in out-of-the box experience.

        You could try it, it might change your mind. It did for me, I switched after a decade on Fedora.
