From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm so glad he went with BazziteOS over a regular distro. Even though, I love CachyOS, but in this case we need to have more new users and we don't want them to deal with any potential issues.
CachyOS is great, but I put Bazzite on a laptop specifically so that anyone in my household could use and maintain it. It's not for everyone, but it's a good use case for anyone who wants to set it and forget it.
Also its probably a lot easier to handle for performing testing on equal conditions through the tests for all their cards. Sounds like ideally they want to freeze all their versions for at least a quarter of a year or more
I use CachyOS and it's been more or less plug and play. Some next fest demos haven't worked (i.e. B.C Piezophile) but whenever that happened I just moved on to a different game and put it in the "later" folder to see if time will fix it.
