There are stories like this for every distro, unfortunately.
Comment on Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?
Unboxious@ani.social 3 weeks agoThe problem with using Bazzite as the solution to new users bricking they’re Linux installs is I’ve had Bazzite’s update utility break itself 3 times now. I couldn’t possibly recommend this distro to someone after that.

Yeah but in Bazzite’s case one of those issues (the one from about a year ago) hit over 99% of their users. I really think that all these people talking about how great Bazzite is either haven’t been using it for long enough for the devs to have fucked up or they just haven’t noticed that their system hasn’t been updating for the past year.

Same. I gave up on Bazzite (for the time being) the second time it just stopped updating. The first time, I had to rebase it entirely to get it to work for a while again. I wouldn’t want to put a new person through that. I’m not sure why everyone has a hard-on for immutable distros “for beginners” suddenly.
