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.

Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.

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

I'm one. I set up a Windows/bazzite dual boot situation and I've never booted windows since.

what's bazzite like? might experiment with it when I get my caseless frankenstein floor computer to work lol

think steamos with all of it's goodies (and more bazzite-exclusive features), but on a more standardised linux base so you can run it on any pc and handheld, not just the steam deck. bazzite is also just as unbreakable as steamos, since it is an immutable (read-only system files) os, and updates the same way as a phone does (downloads an update in the background, and uses it on next boot with a rollback option in the super rare event that it breaks something).

Someone else could explain better than me I'm sure but, it's a Linux distro that is gaming focused. It comes pre-loaded with steam and video card drivers so that someone has a decent chance that their games will just "work".
