You’re not really selling it. Fucking up my gaming system with Docker bloat is that last thing I’d want.

AFAIK, it doesn’t ship with docker. You can install it if you want it, or not if you don’t, just like most distros.
It ships with various drivers and libraries for gaming, because that’s the focus.

Thats the point really, just having the ability to do something doesn’t mean you have to.
But when you do need to, you can.

No, nobody ever needs Docker.

Well, no one ever needs computers either.

Last I checked, bazzite’s installer is using the broken version of the timezone list that doesn’t even include west coast timezones, nor do they provide a way of manually specifying the timezone, which tells me their attention to detail isn’t great.
Also, having 10 different iso’s with differences that an entry level user has no real need to care about, instead of including it in a bundled installer doesn’t help either.
Not to mention having 8 fully different program installation repos, with 8 different front ends, and an explanation of ‘try installing your program in each of these in the following order, and use the version that works best’, flatpacks being at the top of the list, recommending using an entire VM in the form of distrobox over using appimages, and just in general needing a flowchart to explain how to install things.
These, and other reasons, are why I cannot in good consciousness, recommend bazzite to non-power users, and get annoyed seeing people do so all the time.
