If I'm trying to learn bazzite as a new user, is it best to just learn fedora? (sh.itjust.works)

My fiancee runs bazzite, this was her choice but she's horribly non techy. I often have to help her with tech support but I don't use Linux, I've been thinking of switching over just so I can learn and fucking keep her PC from breaking all the time but I don't want to use bazzite. Would I learn by using what I hear it's based off of? (Fedora)

I have run Fedora for over a decade and switched to Bazzite a couple years ago for my desktop (Fedora still on my server).

In short, yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can learn what you need to directly on Bazzite. If you're looking for help, Bazzite is most similar to Fedora Silverblue (not regular Fedora) under the covers. The differences between regular Fedora and Bazzite are substantial enough that you'll run into some things you'd need to research twice, once for Fedora then again for Bazzite. Keep it simple and just use Bazzite.

If you want or need a distribution with a different focus, you should look at the other Universal Blue (ublue) options. Bazzite is built on ublue for gamers, but uBlue also builds for other use cases. Aurora for general desktop, Bluefin for workstation, and uCore for servers.

You're missing the point though, it's a good OS for her but I actually don't want bazzite on my personal desktop, I would rather use something that's not immutable

Oh, then yeah, Fedora is closest. But I'd recommend at least trying an immutable distro --, immutable distributions have been excellent to me (and I dig in my systems a lot), so much so that I'm considering moving my server over, and we already use them on our Linux fleet at work.
