    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.

        Indeed. Took me 20min from starting install to having my first game on Steam. Best experience ever. Never looked back.

          I used to run Ubuntu, but i am totally hooked on the immutable thing that they are doing.

      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?
