For somethings, it makes it harder to install so being immutable sometimes adds an extra hurdle. But for the type of people who wouldn't install the OS themselves, they aren't going to try those methods anyways and if they did, they wouldn't know enough to not break things. So this is what I was thinking.
OTOH, it makes it harder to get find answers since its less popular than the parent OS's and fedora instructions often don't apply, so if they ever do get interested in learning more it could be a hurdle. But they're just gonna ask me to deal with it, and I'm currently using bazzite (+ windows dual-boot for work stuff).
