[DF] Bazzite - 'SteamOS' For Windows PC Handhelds - Is It A Game-Changer?
Bazzite is very nice for gaming only. If you want to do any dev-related things, like installing Wireshark or programming an ESP32, anything that needs to access outside of the sandbox/container, you will need to learn how to navigate through sandbox/container hell, exposing ports from each other, and installing things directly to rpm-ostree, etc. It gets ugly really fast.

It's super easy, barely an inconvenience. Just use Distrobox: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/Distrobox/

Good?
A gaming device should not be an... eierlegende Wollmilchsau. It should play games with minimal bullshit. The possibility of being a general computer does not necessarily demand the ease of being a general computer. So long as you're the one deciding when and how it acts like a fixed-function gizmo, great.

Is it? I'm reminded of Betteridge's law of headlines
9I use it on my HTPC. It's pretty nice, but there are definitely some bugs and quirks. It's basically the handheld steam version, but with some better support. Agree that "Game-Changer" is clickbait.
