It seems that Bazzite issues with hubris / big egos is beyond what I thought.

If half of that is true, they have a huge governance problem at hand.

Because the current fad is atomic distros bazzite shoves it's head everywhere so people slobber all over it.

When 99% of people would be better served using something like mint or pop for day to day tasks or cachyOS for the exact sort of gaming "ease" they used bazzite for.

As someone who's had to help a LOT of people swap over to Linux in the last year. Bazzite with out fail has been the single biggest fucking headache every time someone stubbornly tries to use it.

It's fantastic, right up till you fucking try to do ANYTHING at all. Then it's a minefield of fucking problems hard nos and requires more knowledge to actually do anything then just using arch would.

Atomic distros are terrible for new users and gamers alike and yet that's who these stupid ass fucking distros keep getting yeeted at.
