Ubuntu used to be one of the best gaming desktops that was still very stable and usable for everything else, but Canonical has been ruining it to make it more aimed at business and making more ways to profit, so Fedora has been filling the gap IMHO. Still some better dedicated gaming build distros, but Bazzite is good at being a gaming distro that works well as a productivity desktop too.

    I don’t think Ubuntu is ruined so much as that Bazzite is very focused on the gaming use case and is a better choice if that’s what you want to do. I use Ubuntu and have tried Bazzite (in a VM with an Nvidia GPU pass thru). Bazzite made the Nvidia based install incredibly easy, and is a particularly good choice for VFIO. I personally use Ubuntu specifically because it’s the same OS as my cloud servers. They solve real problems in that space.

    Ubuntu literally has never in it's history been a good gaming distro. It use to just be a popular one. But all of the Deb/apt distros have never been "good choices"

    Arch and Gentoo were always the better options. And it's really only recently that the rest become reasonable options.

    Gaming has historically been best on absolutely bleeding edge distros with a bunch of hacky community patches and fixes.
