From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, and I love it.
I only use my PC for gaming and web browsing. I mainly stuck with Fedora, but also used Tumbleweed and Nobara. Regardless of which distro I used I was never fully satisfied with the initial setup or upkeep.
Fedora was great, but I was hopping around often and there was always a setup process to get Steam and what not installed and set up.
Nobara is a great option with gaming tools installed and setup for you. However, it's maintained by a single (awesome) dude and major upgrades often require some manual work arounds.
Tumbleweed was great until there were updates. More times than not, updates failed due to repo or dependency issues.
Bazzite, however, is the first (and only, so far) distro where I quite literally install, reboot, launch and log into Steam, start playing games. No other setup steps were required as everything I need is baked into the image. And with the automatic updates there's been no upkeep.
Since installing Bazzite I've had no desire to try anything else, which is great. More time for gaming. 🎮
Thanks for the answer, sounds exactly like the boat I am in. I will try it!
