Problem generally is that the moment you do have to leave steam. It’s infinitely worse and basically impossible to use for a low skilled or new user compared to other gamer distros that do the exact same thing as bazzite but arnt immutable.

Immutability is great till you need to actually do anything at all. It’s such a catch 22. To a new user, it means you can’t accidentally f*** anything up, but also to a new user basically means your computer is a glorified console and you can’t do anything with it because you lack the skill set in knowledge to actually do anything in looking. Anything up basically isn’t going to be helpful for you cuz basically every guide and written account anywhere you find isn’t going to be geared towards an immutable distro.

The immutable gimmick that’s currently going on right now is still way too flavor of the month for new users who are trying to learn from a ground set of nothing.

If I was giving a computer to like a kid who I didn’t want to be able to do anything I would give it to them as a form of parental control more than anything.

Immutable distros are currently the flavor of the month and it’s basically just that. Bazzite is just a worse cachyOS. But because it’s immutable it’s the flavor of the month and therefore it’s the hype new thing.

Everyone loves the hype new thing. Even though in all realistic aspects, it’s more overly complicated. It’s more prone to causing issues for new users. It’s less proven.

There’s a good argument to be made that the project might just end up imploding in a year or two and dying out and f****** over all these new users who are flocking to it because of rampant suggestions.

Is also the general issue of Fedora and its family being prone to breaking itself from early adoption of new ideas. People love to give Arch s*** but Fedora tends to be the one that actually implodes itself for low-skilled users.

Got to love flavor of the month

It suffers from the same problem all Debian/Ubuntu family distros suffer from.

Being horribly out of date. It’s a very slow moving family of distros. Which can be a good thing if your work load doesn’t involve new hardware and software along with a focus on stability and reliability. Since if things don’t update they can’t break.

This can result in support for hardware and software being upwards of two to three YEARS out of date. Which for gamers for example is unacceptable and causes issues more often then not.

It’s the why fedora or arch based distros are generally speaking the better option to suggest to people. Depending on their level of intelligence, education and willingness to learn.

Bazzite and cachyOS for example are both fantastic for gamers.

Fedora or endeavour for your run of the mill office PC.

There is a serious argument to be made that the mass adoption of bazzite and the general flavor of the month affection for immutable distros is very likely going to cause issues for loads of users down the road.

So bazzite being overly popular is somewhat concerning. Flavor of the month distros have a bad tendency to implode randomly.

Uhh… Basically every language I can think of have had some form of childhood activity that pushed learning it’s asinine rules at some point in it’s history.

Cause fun fact.

Literally every language that has ever existed is batshit crazy, makes no sense and might as well be unhinged nonsense.

That’s not a monopoly English has. Not by a fucking long shot.

That guy’s comment is racist as fuck tho

Arch breaks less frequently then Ubuntu at this point… Honestly I would put arch in the top 3 most stable and unbreaking options.

You have to go out of your way to break arch nowadays. The catch 22 is arch will happily allow you to do that. But it sure won’t do it, it self.

Cause Debian is an out of date rock.

If you need a rock it’s good

But it’s still a rock for better or worse and rocks are a pain in the ass to do anything with that isn’t just having it sit there.

Honestly I would be ok with then being the next tech silo. If they just actually did a good job more often.

They perpetually suffer from 6 outta 10 syndrome.

They are good enough to use, better then most alternatives, but just suck enough that I’m always disappointed but not angry.

Iv come to learn over the years. If you want to buy computer parts just do it.

Your actively stupid if you don’t cause some bigger idiot with more money then brains will make a new grift that causes everything to be unaffordable.

Fuck waiting for deals, fuck thinking twice. Just fucking buy it and ignore reality around you cause you will be pissed either way.

Either a deal comes and you fucked yourself, or everything goes to the moon and now you have nothing AND your fucked.

The vast majority of the use of arch at this point is complete out of the box… Arch hasn’t been a diy distro any more or less then fedora or Ubuntu for a few years at this point.

Between endeavour cachy and steam os. Diy arch is basically not really a thing for gamers. It’s a meaningless concern.

Kids, and people making a profit.

Easier to make a profit off RMT if you bot and cheat.

Who even uses normal arch anymore.

All the cool kids use endeavour or cachy. Which is like calling Ubuntu, Debian.

Any distro in the last decade even worth the time to use it’s easy.

The only expectation is if it’s a distro purely built to only use Foss software with out expections.
