I’m not us gaming though I do dev work and what have you

Bazzite isn't really for you. Bazzite is a gaming 1st distro. You probably want a more normal general use distro.

Don't agree with this. I do dev work in bazzite without any issues. Just spin a distrobox and that's it. Also it's better that usual dev environments, just like a python env is better than using native os python.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. There’s better distros out there.

Especially when you have no interest in gaming.

Not true. I can even develop Linux device drivers on it after figuring out modules signing. Basic stuff if you ask me. Bazzite is as good for developers as any other distro.
