    It suffers from the same problem all Debian/Ubuntu family distros suffer from.

    Being horribly out of date. It’s a very slow moving family of distros. Which can be a good thing if your work load doesn’t involve new hardware and software along with a focus on stability and reliability. Since if things don’t update they can’t break.

    This can result in support for hardware and software being upwards of two to three YEARS out of date. Which for gamers for example is unacceptable and causes issues more often then not.

    It’s the why fedora or arch based distros are generally speaking the better option to suggest to people. Depending on their level of intelligence, education and willingness to learn.

    Bazzite and cachyOS for example are both fantastic for gamers.

    Fedora or endeavour for your run of the mill office PC.

    There is a serious argument to be made that the mass adoption of bazzite and the general flavor of the month affection for immutable distros is very likely going to cause issues for loads of users down the road.

    So bazzite being overly popular is somewhat concerning. Flavor of the month distros have a bad tendency to implode randomly.
