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 just love Bazzite. For daily driving I use another distro, but for my gaming PC below my TV I chose Bazzite and it keeps happily chugging along. I never had any problems, it goes out of my way, never bugs me and does what it needs to do. I honestly never even noticed it updating before (it does though!). I was even able to swap from a NVIDIA GPU to an AMD one and could do the rebase with no issues and minimal knowledge. Steam launches in Big Picture mode and I get the full console experience. And if I feel like mouse and keyboard is needed I can just stream using sunshine to my other PC. It is not that hard, Microsoft.

Background updates are a big pro! And not just the OS, it uses TopGrade to upgrade Flatpaks, Brews, etc.
