Does the community have any thoughts on Bazzite for a desktop gaming machine?

My primary use with be mouse and keyboard, but the deck interface looks nice for the 10% of the time I want to use a controller. I also hear that HDR and VRR work better under it then most of the DEs.

Anyone out there using Bazzite for a similar use case? I'd also be curious to here about other ways people are using it.

I've been using it on my gaming rig/dev workstation for nearly a year and its been great. Games work great. I had some issues with printer drivers, and with some dev tools. I hadn't used a fedora-based system in years so many of my issues likely stemmed from that. Editors seem to be confused by the home symlink, especially IntelliJ et al.

Overall I'd highly recommend it. Someone mentioned slow boot, but that hasn't been my experience. It boots within a few seconds.
