GEG, the only image of bazzite on the 'ooru was whatever this thing is meant to as the hanging trannyjak
I don't use bazzite, just trying to know if its good or raisin

Pretty much any distro with relatively up to date packages can use that so called "steamos compatibility", it's called proton. Bazzite is based on FEDora (I don't really like it, it's pretty bloated, booted slower than windows 11 on a system with an i5 10500), but by default it's set up as "immutable" so you only install programs/make configurations in your own user folder. You can have root access, but by design it's made to discourage that.
If you're just getting into Linux, pick from one of the "big 3" distro families (Arch, Debian, Fedora), that's where most differences are.

>>29701
out of arch, debian and fedora which would be the most easy to get into? all i know is that debian has been around for ages and that arch is used by a lot of obnoxious troons

>>29703
Debian isn't that out of date if you switch to the "experimental" repositories (aka the ones other distros call up to date). Arch isn't that hard to install anymore, if you use the archinstall script. It doesn't look as nice as a graphical interface, but it does almost all the things (you will probably need to look up what some options mean). Both debian and arch have a lot of documentation and questions about them online, so you should be covered with that. The difference (from a user perspective) between them is how often you get new packages. Arch also has a "user repository" where there are more packages on top of the default ones, could be useful if you don't want to manually download, install and update some less common programs.
If you want something a step easier, try linux mint (debian based) or endeavour os (arch based).

>>29704
i didn't necessarily mean that debian was out of date, just older than the other two. I'll probably use something like linux mint then, or maybe something like ubuntu because i checked and mint isn't officially supported by proton. I'll probaby use something debian based.

>>29709
That "official" support doesn't mean a ton, underneath it's pretty much the same. DO NOT use Ubuntu, it is one of the most enshittified distros

>>29713
ok, mint it is. I only know about ubuntu because my dad uses it, but then he put it on some ancient laptops like 15 years ago, a lot has changed since.
