Imo if you just have a regular desktop PC, use Ubuntu/Fedora, not a dedicated 'gaming' distro. Bazzite's good as a stand in for steam os on non Valve handhelds, but Steam and Proton work just fine on a regular boring Linux distro. | ||||||||

Bazzite is a lot less messing around though. Stock standard fedora doesn't have the drivers needed for modern xbox controllers. Doesn't have a controller usable interface, etc. If your PC is connected to a TV than Bazzite is a much better experience. | ||||||||

I mostly agree, with the caveat the Bazzite is also a good option for PCs that spend their life permanently connected to a TV as a gaming box. It makes for a great big screen sofa experience too vs using typical Linux distro desktop UIs or Windows. Roll your own Steam Machine, essentially. | ||||||||

Bazzite is just Fedora Kinoite with some tweaks for gaming, like automatically including Nvidia drivers. I've joined the Kinoite kult since it's much easier to deal with an atomic system. | ||||||||

Debian / Fedora are riddled with features gamers will never need. | ||||||||
