I initially installed Bazzite when switching to Linux, but the development experience made me switch to Kubuntu after a few days. I've had various problems with development tools which probably related to Bazzite's immutability. For example I couldn't get Godot to connect with a code editor. I'm sure there were solutions to those problems, but I haven't regretted switching. Development works great now and gaming feels just as good to me as it did on Bazzite.
Look up Bazzite DX. Its a developers oriented version. Other than that, distrobox is amazing for creating containers for your projects, allowing you to have a sane and stable dev environment
