This. I'd say it's perfect for people who don't want to tinker at all, and it's excellent for experts who either know or will enjoy learning how to make its containerization/sandboxing/whatever approaches work out. "Tinkering" is the specific doughnut hole where it is a problem. I replaced it with Tuxedo OS because I was frustrated with trying to set up the toolset for the QMK keyboard firmware, and it turned out there's a whole layer of things you have to do to make it work, and some of the simpler ones simply break the immutability. A few other tools I wanted to use were running into similar hurdles.
NOw, it's not that I beleive any of this stuff was a showstopper for everyone; I have too much confidence in the community for that. I am just old and dumb and while I love using Linux, I don't necessarily want Linux itself to be my hobby. Now all that said, my Minecraft and Starfield installs were working really well on Bazzite, and I haven't done any gaming in recent weeks so I hope they'll be as good on Tuxedo.
