So was Bazzite founded by someone’s mate Baz or what?

Why would they not just use an Arch base like the real SteamOS does?

I think I can hear Bringus sobbing somewhere

dang. That was supposed to be my go to OS once I got my data backed up.
any chance someone could recommend another distro for me?

it would be on my Laptop. Fairly new, Intel IRIS cpu, no dedicated GPU (can get specs if needed).
I'm going into UNI for comp sci next year
I want KDE as a requirement.
I would prefer it to be arch based so my knowledge can be transferred to messing with my steam deck, but not a requirement.

I also tinkered my previous distros to death by messing with terminal commands I didn't know (it's how you learn!). I would prefer something to back it up if I accidentally delete a million packages like last time but I don't know if that would be something dependent on the OS or just a program.

I don't really understand what immutable is, but I think my SteamDeck is immutable so I think I want it 🤷‍♀️

any recommendations/tips would be appreciated 🩷

When Redhat went Fedora, I learned Debian and Ubuntu. When they decided to flush CentOS, I GTFO even professionally and stayed out of their ancestral distros.

Don't get me wrong, I'm down with change and updating, but they are very focused on making things better/easier for themselves without worries about who they're supposed to be supporting.

lmao hope this amounts to a bunch of linux newbies learning what distro hopping is.
