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.

It might be beginner friendly, but it doesn't mean you can't do pretty much anything else you'd want to do on any other distro. It's just a different process.
Agreed. I'm a software dev and I also have a ton of weird and niche hobbies I use my PC for and I've never run into anything I felt like Bazzite prevented me from doing. Even if they didn't offer the super convenient developer edition.
For example, the immutable root partition doesn't stop me from adding udev rules in
/etc.In fact, DistroBox gives me the freedom to use any package from any distro I want, including the Arch AUR.
Anyone who says Bazzite is "too limiting" doesn't understand how it actually works.
I love distrobox.
