I never quite understood what people saw in Bazzite. Fedora is cool, but Fedora Atomic is kinda crap so why base anything on it?
People say crazy shit like "I installed Linux and it actually works! Wow this Bazzite thing is awesome" when 99% of the linux distros you install also work after installation. Working is not a magical feature, believe it or not.
Nobara is interesting
Its decent, but they have a take it or leave it approach (very opinionated) - which is good for people that don't particularly have specific needs or don't care too much and just want to get into Linux.
It's a better start than Ubuntu. Have to tweak any distro anyway.
