I'm glad Bazzite is finally getting some more mainstream attention, it's an incredible distro! It's my go-to recommendation these days, and what I'd use myself if I wasn't a NixOS nerd lol
Never heard of it, how is this distro for new users? I run mint for reference, but I'm always trying to learn about other distros.
It's very much set and forget, and straight up walks you through the basics with a friendly first time setup tool (that you can also invoke at any point afterwards). Useful gaming and quality of life tweaks out of the box, great balance between up to date and stable, atomic updates and built-in rollbacks so it's super hard to break too. It stays out of your way and keeps things updated as needed, you just have to reboot now and then to apply like an Android phone.
The one thing to keep an eye out for is manually editing config files and such isn't going to be the same as you'd expect since it's atomic, but you can still get it done most of the time. Lots of info for Silverblue out there, and as another rpm-ostree based distro, most should apply to Bazzite as well.
