Upstream images vs bazzite: https://github.com/ublue-os/countme/blob/main/growth_upstream_with_bazzite.svg
My prediction: bazzite may have more installs than Fedora KDE by the end of the year.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I feel like it may not overtake KDE, from the graphs the trend seems to somewhat be following there too recently. Like a bump in number of downloads because of popularity, but not a linear trend. Does that even make sense?
Isn't that like comparing apples to oranges? Bazzite is a distro and KDE is a DE
by KDE i meant Fedora KDE. Thought it would be obvious since the graph is labelled that way, i guess not.
Yeah, I could see that. It'd be very interesting if it did, though
I assume it has to do with it kind of directly competing with steamos and eating into the user share?
I guess competing is correct, but I don't see it overtaking steamOS any time soon or even coming close since the steamdeck is an actual product marketed by a for-profit company.
