I tried bazzite and kinoite and they are great. Unfortunately I don’t have a souped up gaming pc and I found them a little on the slow side compared to other distros… I’ve been using NixOS for a couple of months and I am loving it. The system is responsive, the boot time is half that of bazzite and while perhaps it isn’t ideal for someone’s very first distro it also isn’t that complicated, if I can figure it out 90% of other users could. I have all my old windows games working and my old hybrid Nvidia card chugging along nicely.
