That's the first description on the website. It says it's a cloud native Linux image that comes pre-installed with all the apps for gaming, e.g. Steam, Lutris, etc. I was asking a question as to why it's better than SteamOS, as when I see cloud native I just assume it's something designed for and around streaming. I may be misunderstanding its purpose, but that's the impression I get from the site.
From their FAQ page https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/FAQ/
Yeah, it seems to be a misunderstanding. They are using cloud tools to generate and update the base operating system.
"Better" is always relative. Personally I generally prefer not to use software that comes bundled with the hardware, that way I avoid any vendor lock in. The hardware vendor should not be in a position of deciding what I should or shouldn't be able to do with their hardware, and software should be open to the customer, so that it does exactly what they want, not more or less.
