That makes sense. Is there anything specific to bazzite you like or do you think you could get pretty much the same experience on any immutable distro?
I have tried openSUSE Kalpa for a few months and that would literally only boot 50-60% of the time due to not being able to mount volumes for some random unlogged reason, also RPM-ostree is better than the suse tool for it (from a layman's perspective) and saving 10 or so system snapshots doesn't make sense for my usecase because I would only notice something wrong from a bad update immediately or 4 months down the road lol.
Steam being natively installed is a big one too because flatpak steam is simply riddled with bugs and problems. I couldn't even launch any game at all until I found a command buried not in opensuse's documentation but another. I think I ran into 4-5 major issues before they were all found out via the web. Definitely not an experience most people would want.
Otherwise it is about the same except openSUSE had a high rate of updates silently failing with 2 RPM packages installed where bazzite has never failed.
You can have a remarkably similar experience on any distro, just enable flathub and install verified packages from there.
