This could be especially good for new users who do not understand the command line or those who have used the command line on another os and need to understand the command usage on Linux.

I see, didn’t know that about Bazzite but good to know! I’m no expert by a long shot, but luckily I have some experience with coding in vim. So I think like you, I would want something I can really fine tune myself.

I’ve heard good things about Pop!_OS which is based on Ubuntu, but I haven’t tried it myself. I’ve looked at it through distrosea but the GNOME-like DE threw me off. I know you can change that so if I gave it a shot it would be the first thing I’d do most likely. For more general uses, Mint is great, but there’s more fiddling to play games than on Bazzite. Nothing crazy though. I’ve heard CachyOS is good for gaming too, it’s based on arch, but I haven’t tried it.

Sweet. I have heard of some of those but never looked into them. I’ll add this to a list to check out further 👍

The current stable version of PopOS is pretty outdated because they're working on a big overhaul
