This is accurate really. Linux Mint is excellent for people who want to get away from Windows and learn Linux because it looks similar. Bazzite, however, especially the KDE version, honestly looks better than Windows at this point, imo.

In addition to making gaming much much easier, it also has an atomic code core, meaning that all the stuff you will eventually break on Linux Mint by playing around with different programs... and eventually lead to a new Linux user re-installing... is almost non-existent. Programs are installed in their own space with their own dependencies, meaning that they don't encroach on any other programs using similar drivers, configurations, etc. When those programs are uninstalled, they're just gone.

So if you can finally game on a Linux distro, not worry so much about borking a linux distro, and it looks and feels both modern and intuitive at the same time...

Why not put in on a spare laptop or something and get some hours in? Microsoft needs some serious pruning and unfortunately they seem immune to criticism that doesn't come in the way of lost revenue.
