Glad I decided not to stick with Bazzite. I gave it a try a few months ago and had issues with Bazaar crashing (not at all low end hardware btw). If the primary method to install software was that broken on a fresh install, there was no way I was going to trust the OS at all, no matter how many people on YouTube and HN talked about how amazing it is.

What alternative did you switch to?

I went with CachyOS. It's based off of Arch and compiles packages with flags for more modern CPUs. They also build extra packages that aren't normally provided by Arch (always nice to rely a little less on the AUR). And their default scheduler is supposed to provide a smoother gaming experience, though they have a selection of schedulers if you don't like that one.

I never tried Bazzite, but have been using Jovian, which is a NixOS-based gaming setup.

I have heard that CachyOS (Arch) and Nobara (Fedora) are two other decent options.

I tried it but couldn't get it stable on my system. Ended up with EndeavorOS which is arch-based with a much better-install process.
