For me personally there are two red flags: an almost non-existent wiki and the only way to connect with the community or get support is Discord. I have the same issue with PikaOS.

I tried installing Drauger before Bazzite but never got it to the point of stability before breaking it and moving on to try other things. (I know he put out a new version recently so I might pull something together to try it again to see if it improved.) Really, though, I'd say just go with Debian itself. Between Steam, Lutris, and Heroic, you don't need to install gaming tools yourself much anymore, and if you are a fan of the Ubuntu toolkit, that's mostly Debian. I've done a bit of gaming on Debian and never had any issue. What are you having trouble with on Bazzite that you expect to be different on anything else, though?

PikaOS is gaming Debian, and Debian is just pre-Ubuntu-Ubuntu without the Ubuntu-shittiness that Ubuntu adds. If you like apt and dpkg and deb package management, that's all Debian's work, not Ubuntu, and I don't see why you wouldn't be just as happy with Debian. If you like snap... well, then, there's something wrong with you and I don't know how to help you. :P Debian is the base for a huge number of distributions (including Ubuntu itself) for good reason. PikaOS is built on that good foundation. I'm running PikaOS with KDE on basically all my (modern-ish) machines, and I would happily recommend it to anybody.

Bazzite isn’t Ubuntu based?
