Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.
Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive
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.

Cachy/endeavour is literally more stable from updates than other options at this point.
Every distro is equally breakable by the user so that's a moot point to compare them.
Which is the whole point of atomic distros to fix that point.
You literally should basically be going bazzite if you don't want immutable go arch. In the context of gaming.
Like 90% of the problems over the last 3 years I see new users have is that they try a Ubuntu family distro and run head first into the shit show of how out of date they are and how shitty ppas are.
I switched a year or two ago to Bazzite from EOS, and it (EOS) broke all of the time during large updates. If I went more than a week without updating, it was almost guaranteed to break. I used TimeShift all of the time out of necessity. I've only needed to rollback my Bazzite install once, and that was because I fucked it up. The rollback process was also incredibly easy
Eh, I did 4 or 5 years on Arch, broke a lot, learned a lot, got tired of that and retired to Fedora, now Bazzite. I would recommend Arch or Cachy to someone with technical chops, which is a surprising amount of PC gamers, who wants to get up to speed fast on linux. I'll recommend ArchWiki regardless. Then there are the others who just want to game with minimal friction, for them, Bazzite. Horses for courses... Hard agree on Ubuntu.
This is similar to my experience. I learned a lot by regularly breaking my EndeavourOS install, but after a couple of years I got tired of that and Bazzite has been almost boringly stable ever since
