I'm currently running bazzite and it's a pretty solid option if you're looking for a strictly gaming experience. Steam and Discord work great, modding can be a pain in the ass but that's more to do with me not knowing my options than that OS. My biggest issue is that it isn't great for everything else I do. Cad software, image editing, 3dprinting, every other hobby I have runs into constant stumbling points because bazzite doesn't quite work like any of the other distros so even Fedora guides don't work. Box buddy is supposed to fix that, but for the life of me I've never gotten it to successfully run anything.
Yeah, Bazzite being immutable is one of the reasons I've held off for so long. Its extra hoops are a learning curve, and I would argue the benefits of immutable are worth it, there's just a time factor involved regarding learning. Hopefully as things develop, guides and workflows will simplify everything, and drag people over.
