Homie installed an alpha version of a distro instead of picking the stable one, ran into issues, something something picture of dude shoving a stick into the wheel of the bike he’s riding.

I mean, in the video, Bazzite was still showing how it’s not streamlined. I feel he was being too polite or dishonest so he doesn’t get cancelled by the Linux community. Sure, a couple of the situations were not Bazzite fault, but if it really was the year of the Linux, it shouldn’t be 10 hiccups from install to game. And that was still with his Linux experience.

Which is kind of the point of the video. They explicitly said: they could get expert opinion and support. But when you use a search engine as an everage joe to find what distro to install, popOS comes up a lot on those shitlicles sites.

How is the average person going to know that? If Joe blow can’t easily get to the distro they “should be using”, Linux ain’t happening for most people.

I can tell I'm in a bubble because I was shocked Bazzite wasn't the top recommended distro basically everywhere someone might search "Linux gaming distro"

Cachy has been basically rock solid for me, after figuring out a couple nvidia issues. The biggest problem I faced was trying to understand wine/proton prefixes for restoring saves files on some of my older games. Though I'm running Plasma which I guess is kinda "vanilla" compared to these fancier DEs. Props to the Cachy team and the Arch Wiki team for having such a vast wealth of information available that's pretty easy to follow!
