Bazzite is like a easy newbie introduction to Linux. It’s really hard to mess up Bazzite, like really hard. In the same regard it can also be a pain to install anything outside of their ecosystem. If you run it with Distrobox it’s not a big deal but I don’t see a lot of new users going that route. If you’re just looking to browse, stream, and game than Bazzite is perfect and you don’t need anything else. Beyond that? Distrobox or use a different distro.
I tried Bazzite, I didn’t like it, I found it too limiting but I do see the appeal of it.
I’m on Bazzite after giving the other ublue flavours a try. It took a couple of weeks to get comfortable with the new philosophy, but now I can’t see myself going back. What felt like limitations at first, now feels like good habits. All my dev work is done in containers, so it just makes sense.
As a nobara user: it needs a better update tool, what’s implemented is complete dogshit that acts invisibly but if you interrupt it oh boy enjoy reinstalling the entire system because you just destroyed it
Nobara didn’t used to have a Steam Deck image. Bazzite was one of the first distros, if not the first to have one. that’s why Bazzite is more popular. there was a huge surge of people on r/SteamDeck who switched to Bazzite, and that popularity moved on to other handhelds like the ASUS ones.
I truly believe Nobara to be better suited for gaming than Bazzite. I don’t really get the hype. But then again, to each his own distro.

Which is why I use
sudo nobara-sync cli(this is built-in)Fast, simple and verbose
