I’ve had sudden breaking changes in my Bazzite install that seem like they should have been easy to catch in testing, I’ve been surprised by some of the seemingly random gnome tweaks that come pre-installed and I’ve seen them equally randomly appear and disappear, and I’ve seen Kyle Gospo be rude and aggressive in the support discord.
The nice thing is that all the gaming distros on Linux are cooperating and sharing efforts pretty well (and that includes Bazzite), so if for whatever reason Bazzite isn’t your jam, try one of the dozens of others. Personally I loathe immutable distros, but if they’re what pleases you and seems right to you, by all means. But 95% of what an immutable OS gives you can be accomplished only a little less easily and much more flexibly with something like btrfs snapshots, so like, don’t rule out other distros because they’re not immutable by default. Reverting your OS should not something you’re having to be doing regularly. It’s not something you should be optimizing for. Yes it’s nice to have the option. But it’s even nicer to never need it.

More Linux support is always a good thing.
Honestly after reading Antheas’ story I’m inclined to believe his side. (Linked in the article: https://ba.antheas.dev/bazzite-postmortem.html)

Gotta love how they had to toss that last little bit of shade when…
