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 tried bazzite and kinoite and they are great. Unfortunately I don't have a souped up gaming pc and I found them a little on the slow side compared to other distros.. I've been using NixOS for a couple of months and I am loving it. The system is responsive, the boot time is half that of bazzite and while perhaps it isn't ideal for someone's very first distro it also isn't that complicated, if I can figure it out 90% of other users could. I have all my old windows games working and my old hybrid Nvidia card chugging along nicely.
