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.

First bazzite then Ubuntu 3 months later. Tried troubleshooting but gave up and started over. I don't bother backing up my steam machines, but I appreciate the concern.
I don’t understand the hype with Bazzite. I mean, any linux is better than windows and Bazzite is just linux with bloat and a bad one at that.
my experience with Bazzite: install, use LACT to attemp a small overclock, crash, reboot, lots of packagers missing from distro, uninstall, went back to vanilla Arch.
immutable distros are just a hype and nothing more.
for me the biggest dealbreaker is that only flatpaks are available
You can layer packages using
rpm-ostree install $pkgname. It uses fedora repos. You can also (preferably) use a distrobox or toolbox container with a non-atomic distro and then install the desired package. Generally better to avoid layering packages but it works fine in my experience.
