So far things are looking good. I usually spend a week or so trying to get everything working then usually get frustrated and wipe the install. Usually over something like GPU drivers. This time setup went almost entirely without a hitch. Everything (video, audio, input devices) was working on the first full boot. The only thing I ran into was when I tried to turn on HDR on one of my monitors, everything went black. I had to open a terminal to delete a config file and reboot but it has been fine since. Steam and Proton were part of a single package install. I did have some difficulty getting Steam to set up a library folder on a separate mounted partition, but I got it working.
From here it’s mostly about what games I can get running, and if I need to find replacements for apps I use a lot on Windows, or if Linux versions are available.
Are you using Nvidia? Those apparently have many more issues than AMD GPUs. That being said bazzite comes with lots of preinstalled things like drivers, steam, lutris(for wine) and bazaar for apps.

All that said, I’m pretty optimistic so far.
