good? trustworthy? pros and cons? good for first linux os?

i've been lazy and have been riding out my windows 10 extension but this actually seems really easy with clear instructions to set up a dual boot and slowly hand over more of my hdd space to it. also seems pretty secure, open source, etc but i just want to make sure it's not sus

It's a good first linux OS. It's the easiest way to get a stable linux distro with a bunch of quality of life tweaks OOTB. I greatly encourage it for new users.

The limitations are greatly exaggerated, but you basically can't mess with system stuff. It makes it stable, but if you want to dive into linux and tweak it until things start to break, it's not the distro for you.

You can do more advanced stuff, but it requires learning containers. Which is useful if you ever want to try services with docker containers.

I've been running a simliar distro called bluefin, basically bazzite but without all the gaming tweaks/software added by default, for about a year and have no complaints. It's been the most trouble-free distro i've ever used.
