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.

Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

Being able to install it yourself on any device seems like a big advantage :P

Got it, thank you.

I don't have any device, I specifically own a Steam deck and if that's the main benefit, I probably don't want it on my other devices (I use Arch, btw).

Should've added "on the Steam Deck" in the first place, sorry 😅

Haha yeah, I'm not super up-to-date on Bazzite, but I believe it doesn't add much on a Steam deck. (And if you don't want your other devices to boot up into Steam, you probably don't want it there either.)
