Finally making the transition from Windows to a Linux. I'm pretty sure it's been asked several times but which Linux OS would you recommend a beginner to use? I've seen Ubuntu and Mint as a good start. Not looking to do much. Game here and there (not too worried about Linux compatibility), streaming, editing videos. If I break any rules. I'm sorry.

Yeah my Bazzite definitely doesn't auto launch Steam. I think that might be an option during setup?

Been using it for over a year now. Never auto launched into Steam once.

I installed it in a VM and after installation Steam launched. Didn't check if that persists after several reboots. Why would I?

Then I tried Aurora and with the exception of a Terminal app in Plasma's quick launch panel and no gaming launchers installed, it's pretty much the same thing, so might just as well recommend Aurora instead of Bazzite if the person in question doesn't care much about gaming. It's the workstation variant of Universal Blue.

see? another person has the same result

you just got ratioed!

i tell you what bazzite does do. it installs a bunch of DE extensions that are not useful. they are very easy to disable

You really hate Bazzite, huh? Almost seems like it's your job.
