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.

I think a lot of people are basically looking for "Windows but not Microsoft/Windows". So it's their gaming PC where they also browse the internet/social media and watch YouTube or Twitch (sometimes at the same time that they're gaming), and maybe do some other ancillary stuff like art (digital art, 3d rendering, music, video or photo editing, etc.) or some other hobby related stuff.
So Bazzite is kinda at the center of this perfect storm where plenty of PC gamers have seen the SteamOS/Big Picture mode and gone, "If I could use SteamOS as a traditional desktop, I would in a heartbeat" while Microsoft is also fumbling harder than they ever have - which is saying a lot - and Linux is the easiest to get up and running that it's ever been - to the point where immutable distros are as plug and play as Windows. Then Bazzite comes along and says, "Hey, SteamOS isn't desktop comparable yet, so we went and made it ourselves (with blackjack, and hookers)."
