From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is a Linux distro focused on gaming.

In the future, please say what the project is for when you post about it.

I was also wondering what the fuck this is. From the Wikipedia introductory paragraph:

Bazzite is a Fedora-based[1] Linux distribution designed to be similar to Valve's SteamOS 3 while still functioning as a normal computer.[2][3][4] It offers support for handheld PC devices, including the Steam Deck.

while still functioning as a normal computer

Reminds me of when a school instructor walked by and looked at my laptop and he's like "whoa what is that" (I had Firefox running) and I said it was Linux and he was like "whoa I didn't know Linux could do that"

???

Maybe they'd only ever used it headless?
