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.

How is Bazzite for other things than gaming? For me, mainly embedded dev and productivity.
Bazzite is Fedora os-tree immutable distro. It allows installing RPMs but it’s not nearly as flexible as traditional distros. That being said, you can still do basically everything, but not always straightforward. If you need a C/C++ dev env with toolchain and what not, you better of using something like Distrobox or your custom Podman/Docker containers for that.
Aurora dev edition is the bazzite equivalent for devs. Containers built right into the terminal (ptyxis).
I don't have a lot of time these days, so my PC is mostly used for gaming at the moment. So I am not too worried about the OS being immutable if the gaming is good out of the box.
I still keep a kubuntu os and dual boot the other os I want to try on another ssd.
The answer found here should give my general thoughts.
But, with embedded dev, I'd argue that both Aurora and Bluefin (with their respective DX: (i.e. development friendly) variants) should make more sense.
I am mostly gaming these days but a few months a year, there is a 3d printed project with some embedded components so I'd like the distro to be relatively easy to use in those cases.
Thanks for the explanation.
