Been keeping a keen eye on Bazzite as it seems like a good distro for people like myself who mainly use the desktop pc to play games on. But it doesn’t seem like a “typical” distro for a daily driver? How does Bazzite for example differ from Nobara which is another gaming-oriented distro? I’m just curious as I keep hearing good things about Bazzite, and wondering if there would be any benefit as to someone who is using Tumbleweed, to switch to Bazzite right now.

So, if you are a Bazzite user, or have experience: let me know how it went, and if you could daily drive it!

Edit: I guess the same could be asked for ChimeraOS?

    Bazzite, as a gaming-first distribution, makes some choices that are acceptable for such a platform, but that I believe are unacceptable in a secure development environment. This is why I wrote “not ideal” instead of “bad”. If you don’t care about security then it’s perfectly cromulent. But I value security, so I would not recommend it.

      Fair enough! I don’t know enough to judge that. I’m learning each day, though :) are these choices bazzite or do they come from ublue?
