Thanks for responding, I can definitely see your point that it wouldn't be the best for some new Linux users.

However, speaking from my perspective as a new Linux user: all I wanted was an OS that I could use to play my steam library with little fuss and Bazzite delivered exactly what I wanted. I have no desire to make big changes and everything went perfectly fine. Steam and Firefox were already installed, the only other thing I needed was Discord which was easy to find in the appstore-like GUI.

Bazzite is definitely something I would recommend to new Linux users who are like me, folks who never bothered with Linux before the steam deck proved Linux gaming was viable without needing to learn Linux. There's literally nothing I want to do with my PC that didn't work out of the box. I didn't even need to install any drivers like I would on windows.
