Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.

Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

I've recently dove back into Linux and my last try was on Mint. After a few issues I went back to Windows. With the recent Microsoft news I wasn't happy using a system that could start spying on me.

It's been close to a month and aside from some specific game issues likely due to running a nivida GPU I've been enjoying my time so far.

Copy paste did take a while to get used to. Also the default screenshot tool doesn't automatically put the snip on the clipboard.

My main focus is gaming so this has been a solid operating system to use.

    Always good to try out a few distros before settling in for the long run. As much as I love Mint, there are always cases where one distro has issues with your hardware where another doesn't.

    Copy paste did take a while to get used to.

    Which part, the highlight-middle click part or something else?

    Also the default screenshot tool doesn’t automatically put the snip on the clipboard.

    In Mint? You've made me realize that would be convenient for me so I looked into it, I believe copying straight to clipboard is a default keyboard shortcut option I didn't know about.

    Sometimes ctrl c / v doesn't work and it's a combination of ctrl, super and C.
    Que confused "what's the super key"

    Turns out that's what the windows key on my keyboard is called. So far only when I was messing with the terminal.

    The screenshot tool in Brazzite. I think it's called spectre.

    Ctrl C doesn't work in the terminal because that's how you terminate programs. You need to use Ctrl shift c, control shift v etc.

    Yep. Learning a lot of common inputs on Windows does and does not apply with Linux. Lots of muscle memory to retrain myself on.

    That's true.

    On one hand, there are often ways to change the settings to make things more like how they were on Windows,

    On the other hand, sometimes there's a good reason for it to be different, so I always try to check why it's different before changing it. An example is some window managers putting the taskbar panel at the top of the screen or on the side instead of the bottom (top panel is more convenient with a mouse, side panel takes up less space on a wide/landscape screen).
