    I’ve heard Bazzite is not friendly to new Linux users and it’s not recommended for people who don’t know Linux.

    Is this true?

      In my experience it’s pretty much the opposite, it seems to be designed for new users. The installer is very basic, you basically hit next a few times and wait for the desktop.

      It’s also an immutable distro, so you can’t screw up the system without a lot of effort compared to a normal distro. All the apps are managed by the discover app and you’re restricted to flatpaks for the most part.

      It’s very much an “install and go” type of distro, focused on getting you into your steam games as quick as possible. The rest of it uses some of the most newbie-friendly configurations that I know of. I basically tried it because I was tired of configuring things manually and just wanted to jump into my games without thinking about it too much.

        Well I like the sound of that…How is it with NVIDIA hardware…? I’m guessing it’s KDE Plasma as well?

          I’ll +1 their comment that it’s super newbie friendly, it’s the distro that finally got me to switch fulltime from Windows. It works well with NVIDIA, and you have the choice between KDE Plasma or GNOME when you download it :)

            Oh shit I really like the sound of that. That will replace my Linux Mint hard drive install that I play around with.
