Don't agree with this. I do dev work in bazzite without any issues. Just spin a distrobox and that's it. Also it's better that usual dev environments, just like a python env is better than using native os python.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. There’s better distros out there.
Especially when you have no interest in gaming.
If you have no interest in gaming and want a modern development environment there's Aurora/Bluefin. Bazzite is just those with gaming bits added on.
