    Even if this were to happen, you could easily rebase to Aurora (KDE version of Bluefin) or Fedora Kinoite. You wouldn’t be totally screwed.

    Isn't Aurora still Fedora? Then it probably wouldn't solve the issue with gaming on Fedora being made so difficult to set up, that it forced one of the more popular distros to shut down.

    Bazzite is a gaming focused distro, so I wager that that would be a major problem for a lot of people.

    The only choice for a lot of gamers (including me) will simply be to not use Fedora, and find a new distro to switch to, which is a shame. (Although, it will probably just be SteamOS at that point). I'm also worried about my Lenovo Legion Go. It's unusable with Windows, and Bazzite being atomic is a really really good fit for it, and they have builds specially tailored for Legion.

    But we still have two years to go, so we'll see. I don't think Fedora has the power and market share to force others to follow with depreciation of 32b, and unless other distros join in, it will just be a PR disaster and people will just begrudgingly move to other distros.

    Yep, the problems that require more than the steam flatpak can deliver would of course still be there. But you wouldn’t suddenly be on a depreciated distro without a path forward. Thats what I meant by not totally screwed.
