I've had Bazzite break its own update utility such that it needed manual intervention at least 3 times now. I see no point in a "just works" distro that doesn't actually just work.

    One of the breakages was caused by an expired signature or something from Universal Blue, which hit all users. I'm surprised that one doesn't get talked about more. One of them was caused by Bazzite changing how Steam itself is handled and not transitioning my system over properly. Can't remember what the third one was caused by.

    Thanks for clarifying!

    Yeah, this was a big one. Though, I have to give them credit for how they handled the situation. I believe a lot of other projects got a lot to learn from them in that aspect.

    Was this the transition from the (so-called) bazzite-arch distrobox to layering Steam into the image?

    It likely was. Can't remember the details unfortunately.

    Alright, but you seem to be a (relatively) early adapter then. Do you still use it? Or have you pivoted since?

    Hell no, I switched back to Arch so my system would stop breaking!

    Makes sense. Thanks for enlightening your stance. FWIW, it has definitely been better since. But of course; however good it may have become right now, it does not take away your experience. Thankfully, you found your refuge in Arch 😜.
