If you’re assuming the user will have trouble with SteamOS’ write protection, which I totally agree with, Bazzite is also surely going to cause headaches.
For the specific context I was replying to – Nvidia drivers – Bazzite’s write protection is completely irrelevant because there are editions with Nvidia drivers preinstalled.
The idea of a locked down system that gets most apps as Flatpaks sounds appealing, until the cracks start to show up.
Depends on the use case. SteamOS comes with Distrobox. All non-Flatpak needs of mine can be achieved through this.

Bazzite founder here. I started Bazzite after spending a few months helping with support on the steam deck Discord because I had already been using atomic fedora and knew the proper workarounds for people who wanted to install applications on a read-only distro like SteamOS.
Bazzite was initially an experiment to see what it would take to get SteamOS packages working in Fedora Atomic, because I knew Fedora Atomic provided a better experience for installing applications that had to be a part of the root system than SteamOS could.

Hi. Can I apologize for getting so upset on your Discord and ask something? Next time you won’t do something, please at least recommend another Distro that might.
I discovered my best option is Arch Linux, though setup was not easy. Projects like Steam Handheld Integration Project are probably the best option for someone if they ask for a feature and you are unable or unwilling to provide it, I understand you’re not obligated to code anything and just want to say that if a feature is outside of scope, recommendations for other distros is the best approach to deal with Linux newbies like me.
Also, to anyone asking, yes Arch was a pain. It’s a small miracle I got it working. It is, however, a good option for Windows 11 handhelds like the OneXFly if you understand command lines (CLIs) like my brother.

You are not forgiven, your behavior was disgusting beyond all measure.
In no uncertain terms would I ever recommend Arch to a beginner, nor would I help a user behaving in the way that you did.
Do not reach out to me again on any platform.

Oh, what a wonderful person that is:

Well, since you decided to be fucking awful about it, I should note that the guy who developed Steamfork seemed to agree you were an asshole. Fuck you and fuck bazzite for killing your competition.
If you contact me on any platform ever again, I’ll destroy everything you hold dear. Shut up if an honest apology that implied no attempt to ask for renewed access (why would I?), made for your benefit because I felt I’d flown off the handle and with no expectations of depenalization, is an insult to you.
