Seemingly for the first time, the Bazzite gaming-focused Linux distro has appeared on the Steam Hardware Survey. Well done to the Bazzite team for making such an amazing distro for gaming (and now just general usage as a while too)! Been my main choice for going on a year now for my general use distro, and I haven't looked back.

I saw an interview on Youtube with the guy heading the Bazzite development. Apparently, he's a "Microsoft Linux Community Manager". What exactly is Microsoft's involvement with Bazzite?

I don't know if there is any, but I just came across this talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfWjhEWyblo&t=15868s

This language is a bit concerning

Uh that just might be his full time job? Plenty of Linux is used in the business world with Azure and WSL

I see. I just started using Bazzite and Mint, and I find myself liking Bazzite more. I'd be bummed to find out they were corporate all along, like Android.

I don’t think you need to worry about that. My understanding is Bazzite was basically created because steamOS is/was really focused on the steam deck where Bazzite was more general PC support
