It does look nice. My main concern is the read-only root, which seems annoying to deal with for non-gaming stuff. I'm a dev and sometimes need to install new dependencies and whatnot. But I'm sure there's a good workflow for that as well.

Aurora (KDE) or Bluefin (gnome) have dev editions. They are based on ublue like Bazzite, but are more dev oriented.

I'll have to check it out.

I've also considered trying the openSUSE MicroOS versions as well (Kalpa for KDE and Aeon for GNOME). I use Tumbleweed on my systems right now, so that would be a natural transition.
