I can't recommend to a newcomer a distro that can potentially break or introduce bugs or vulnerabilities with software that's too bleeding edge. That's why I'll never recommend Arch or even Fedora. And Bazzite is really too gaming focused and you can only install software through flatpaks. (I know there's other ways, but we're talking about newbies here. We need to keep it simple.)

    Flatpak and AppImage. What programs can't be installed on Bazzite?

    It's not that they can't be installed. But that the process is highly technical for newbies.

    Yeah but like which ones? I'm using Kubuntu, but everything I need is either Flatpak or AppImage, and it's easier than Windows

    Ah sorry. I was referring to Bazzite.

    Yeah but either way I'm just using Flatpak and AppImage. Is that harder in Bazzite than Kubuntu? I think Bazzite uses Discover just like Kubuntu

    For desktop apps you'll be fine for the most part. But if you need to install a module for your hardware or some other system software it gets more complicated.
