Yeah, there's a few annoying bugs for sure. The one that currently bugs me the most is when switching from Desktop back to Game Mode, the sound service often crashes, and you have to restart to fix it (I believe it's specific to OLED devices).
Another is installing certain VPN clients doesn't work at all, so you have to rely on being able to generate config files from the provider. In my case, that means I can't use WireGuard, since my VPN only offers that via their client, and that's an issue inherent to the design of the immutable OS.
Most of everything else feels like it's working correctly, but it's those few little snags that keep me waffling on whether I want to go back to Steam OS.
I feel you. I'm currently reinstalling SteamOS for those exact reasons. Don't get me wrong, I love Bazzite (because I'm a huge Fedora fan), but I'll always prioritize "it works" before anything else ๐
