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)

This is actually a very relevant question: Bazzite is pretty much designed to avoid breakage, so if your fiancée is messing up the system somehow, something must be seriously going wrong.

But, to answer your question. If impatient, take Fedora with the same desktop flavor as her Bazzite, so probably the Fedora KDE Spin, as that is the default desktop Bazzite uses.

However: Bazzite basically is Fedora with sane defaults and, contrary to popular belief, isn't just for gaming. Under the hood it has many powerful tools for development and power-users, such as distrobox and brew, coupled with being pretty much bullet proof due to the immutability. If you consider yourself in this group of users, it may be worth giving Bazzite another look and persevering to get over the odd learning curve.

I guarantee you she's not doing anything to the system, she uses it for web surfing and playing steam games, I'm the one who ran into the issues, they're well documented in the bazzite subreddit and it's issues that came out of the bo.x No, this post is about Fedora and if it's at all related to the bazzite learning curve. I'm not expounding, downvote it that makes you feel better
