After Bazzite I went to Garuda, is also gaming focused and has a handy helper app that helps you install common software, run updates, and more.

If you need a new distro it's worth a look.

Honestly go for EnOS. Garuda is neat and has a good default setup, but they've gone a little far with their modifications imo

Oh? I'm still a Linux noob, educate me.

I just don't like their candy design that much and it's effort to undo post-installation

I assume you are taking about desktop environment stuff? I installed the xfce version and it's been pretty streamlined.

Well, I'm talking about their pre-installed software and custom theming

That's fair, but as a Linux beginner, I was happy to have more software than I needed at the start rather than not enough. If you know what you are doing, I could see how you could have a different opinion.
