    The immutability is the main difference. If something gets messed up, on boot you simply change to the previous image and you’re back up and running again.

      I keep seeing people saying this but realistically how many new users had to do that? IMO, it’s just the fact that Bazzite has pretty much everything you need out of the box.

        Eh, on something as customizable as Linux where the solution to problems can often be “run this line in the terminal”, I do believe that a new user can mess up their configuration. I remember Linus from LTT having to deal with a few problems while doing the challenge.

        It’s certainly also the fact that everything you need is already there out of the box, no need for tinkering to get the GPU drivers installed.

        The two things are probably both true

      so it maintains several editions at once? that sounds like a space hog even though it’s useful.

      • Two editions, the current one and previous one, I believe

        And the space hog is like a few gigabytes. I think that’s well worth it for a beginner when it means that in the worst case you can always roll back when we have like terabytes of space
