Alright, alright. This is getting out of hand.
We need to make a list and then do like a reverse Kantian calculus to figure out which ones are doing the most harm and start from the top in descending order.

And then when to do learn it, it pisses you off when something doesn’t have a freely available image.
I just sold my 3070 and bought a 7800XT for the same reasons.
I’m going to up vote and ruin this, but document for posterity.
I have a very similar story, only I went with Bazzite, and now Aurora.
I was using 11 and honestly didn’t hate it, but I could see the writing on the wall. The Steam Deck showed me what I could do with Linux, do I just did it.
I had dabbled with Ubuntu desktop in the past, but it was the Steam Deck with KDE that really sold me on Linux for the desktop.
I do not like GNOME. KDE is great, though.
With atomic, unstable updates aren’t a problem. You can just run back to previous.
Atomic distros are so cool like that.
I’m contractually obligated to harass you about that key rotation slip up.
That’s what we call “brand synergy”.
Look at Bluefin or Aurora. They are also made by Universal Blue and have developer versions that come with Tailscale VPN. They’re built on Fedora Silverblue just like Bazzite. I personally just moved to Bazzite two weeks ago, and then switched to Aurora.
No, because it’s a software KVM and it needs to be able to read, mirror, and suppress mouse and keyboard actions.
Setting up is stupid easy. What makes immutable distros potentially difficult is installing software. Anything packaged as a flatpak is stupid easy. Beyond that it can get complicated. But it’s not bad in general.
Having just switched to Linux with Bazzite two weeks ago, my biggest issues have come from Wayland support. And that’s really just because I have a specific piece of software I need that doesn’t support Wayland. And that’s a bit of an edge case and the result is more annoyance than show stopper.
I’m literally switching from Bazzite to Aurora right now.
Bluefin and Aurora are the same except they use Gnome and KDE respectively.
Each offers a general purpose version and a developer experience version.
Is that anything like transpiling?
I really like KDE. As a long time Windows user, it feels so much more natural than Gnome.
I just installed Bazzite over the weekend on my main computer. It’s definitely not the smooth experience that Windows is, but I’m hoping I can get used to it and keep using it.
I am just now dipping my toes into the Linux desktop life with a Bazzite dual boot. I’m very impressed so far. The Steam Deck finally won me over on the Idea of switching.
What is the reference I’m not getting here?
Why Kinoite over Aurora or Bluefin?
