Thanks for the note, I don't mean to be too snarky--I do actually run the Steam flatpak.

Interesting write-up about Bazzite. I had Bazzite on one of my kid's PCs just because it had an Nvidia card but last week reinstalled Fedora Silverblue. Bazzite has some rough edges and some choices I don't really understand, like using Topgrade and Bazaar. Everyone seems to like it though, maybe I'm in the minority preferring Fedora.

I'm a Linux noob and ended up with Bazzite a bit ago and really like how straightforward Bazaar is, typically what are the shortcomings or downside of Bazaar?

As far as I can tell (I am use Bazzite), the main problem with Bazaar was basically that it was kind of undercooked, had some bugs, both surface level and under the hood, when they first pushed it as the bundled app store for Bazzite.

But its been some months now, and they seem to have been ironed out?

I guess possibly a 'downside' could be that it only handles flatpaks, as opposed to also allowing other kinds of direct package installs, but the whole idea of Bazzite is 'no touchy core os, use flatpak'.

Or, ok, Bazaar is either GNOME only, or GNOME first, whereas Flathub pretty well supports KDE and GNOME, so, if you prefer KDE, I can see the reasoning there for preferring Flathub.
