I'm curious, what exactly makes Bazzite a gaming-focused distribution? Like, it comes with Steam preloaded, I'm guessing, are there other aspects to it? I used to distro-hop a bit back in the late 00s, and while it was fun to see what the different distributions bundled and whatnot, it never felt like something was particularly suited for one thing or another.
I'm now on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, and it's just... Linux, I guess? I play games on it, VR, what have you, and it does what I want it to.
As you correctly guessed already, indeed, Steam is included by default. Beyond that, we got some of the usual suspects:
bootc
model gives for image management to the image maintainersIt does a whole lot more than that, but the above should probs suffice.
Hmm..., FWIW, Ubuntu Studio has been around since 2007. I suppose it's basically the same idea, but directed towards creative use rather than gaming.
To be clear, Bazzite can perfectly work as a general use computer; especially for those that appreciate the
bootc
model but would like to consume it through a popular 'image'.
