I mean, in the video, Bazzite was still showing how it's not streamlined. I feel he was being too polite or dishonest so he doesn't get cancelled by the Linux community. Sure, a couple of the situations were not Bazzite fault, but if it really was the year of the Linux, it shouldn't be 10 hiccups from install to game. And that was still with his Linux experience.

That PUBG fails, is clear. You just won’t have a good time with anti cheat based games like PUBG, Fortnite and the like.

Wanna play those? Stay on Windows or get a console. Just how it still is.

And problems with capture cards I would not book in the „normie“ camp, which on a basic level is the goal of this video series.

It isn't 10 hiccups from install to game, if you just install something normal like Ubuntu or Fedora! The problem here is that the noobs are getting seduced by useless meme distros instead.

How did this idea that Fedora is a no-brainer beginner distro take hold?

Any distro that leaves it up to the user to install proprietary drivers and codecs via command line and then a chunk of additional software before anything can get done is not beginner friendly by today's standards.

Agreed, but I've been seeing people recommending Arch as a first distro lately, so...

Well that's just plain silly.

I'm a fairly advanced user of gnu Linux distros at this point in my life. Fedora is no where close to straightforward for gaming. Bazzite is plug and play set and forget. Is it frustrating to deal with flatpaks and osm-tree instead of simply using a standard package manager? Sometimes, sure. But for an absolute beginner there really is no better option for gaming as a fresh convert from windows.

Audio problems and nvidia drivers can be an absolute nightmare on almost all major distros from Debian to Ubuntu, to fedora if you don't have an absurdly advanced grasp of the processes underlying.

Bazitte takes all of that out of the picture. It's absolutely not a meme distro. It's perfect for an average tech literate person.

I use arch btw, Debian, fedora, Pop, lubuntu, Ubuntu, and a half dozen other distros on a daily basis across a handful of devices. So I'm not daily driving Bazitte, but for gaming and general purpose computing there's no simpler distro imo and I'll die on that hill.

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.
