    although i prefer the arch distros for bleeding edge and rolling updates. Bazzite makes sense for testing because of the immutable.

    A lot of more experienced pc users might end up liking arch distros later in their life, but I would never recomnmend arch based distros to people who aren’t comfortable with linux yet.

        If I understand correctly, it’s a different kind of “immutable”, since distros like Bazzite provide premade immutable images you use and anything else you need you install using alternative means, whereas NixOS is an immutable image generator that requires you to set up your own definitions for the image, but also lets you install software by adding it to that image.

          You don’t necessarily need to make your own NixOS flakes, you can use ones maintained by others
