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

Just an fyi, Bazzite does all of that as well. It's not just gaming, it's a fully functional OS

So you can install packages? It's not a fully immutable system?

You install the package and it adds it to your OS image (that re-initializes every time you boot).

They say you should try to avoid it if you can, so if there's a flatpak use that, if not, then a distrobox with Fedora toolbox for .RPMs or Arch (for AUR and yay) or whatever other distro you choose, then shortcutting it right to your host OS. By this point, you've probably already found a way (or three) to get it to work.

If all that doesn't work, then you can layer packages onto your image by installing the local .RPM using rpm-ostree then rebooting. I've only had to do this with my VPN client so far. Only annoyance is that you have to update it manually.

Ooh, okay, definitely sounds cumbersome at first glance.

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.
