Bazzite is great on desktop, it's just more gaming focused than Aurora
Absolutely but people not interested in autolaunching Steam and other preinstalled launchers can use Aurora which is just the workstation flavor by the same people.
Yeah my Bazzite definitely doesn't auto launch Steam. I think that might be an option during setup?
Been using it for over a year now. Never auto launched into Steam once.
I installed it in a VM and after installation Steam launched. Didn't check if that persists after several reboots. Why would I?
Then I tried Aurora and with the exception of a Terminal app in Plasma's quick launch panel and no gaming launchers installed, it's pretty much the same thing, so might just as well recommend Aurora instead of Bazzite if the person in question doesn't care much about gaming. It's the workstation variant of Universal Blue.
I don't know, bud, I'm just saying that it is not the default and has not happened to me once in the past year, and one or two fresh installs.
it doesn't auto launch anything on desktop
I installed Bazzite just last weekend and I was definitively greeted by a Steam client login window right after logging into SDDM. No idea what you're talking about.
