I apologize for the late reply, the other commenter is correct as well, Bazzite comes out of the box in desktop mode, if you've ever used plasma before, it's a lot like that.
For .exe programs I use wine, and haven't had that let me down yet for the most part.
Im fairly certain Bazzite does use flatpaks, but it does also have also Discover baked in.
Honestly, I compare it strongly to using the steam deck desktop mode.
I've been using bazzite for over 6 months now, I have it on three of my devices at the current moment in time, and I would never look back to Windows at this point, shit just works.
I found that there is a branch called Bazzite that is essentially Steam OS for desktop, I've been using it for a few months now with four monitors and no major hiccups.
Hey, now, when you graduate from engineering school in Canada. They are given a metal pinky ring to remind them of the Quebec bridge disaster, don't knock the pinky ring.
Exactly this, Canadians have been shown whitewashed news for so long, to the point where we are witnessing the destruction of Gaza but care not to even lift a finger, I'm ashamed to be Canadian.
My apologies on the late reply, I currently have Bazzite on three devices,
My main PC: Ryzen 7 3700X, RX 5600, 64Gb DDR4.
My main laptop, a Lenovo E590.
And my backup laptop: A Lenovo L412.
So far, I prefer it over windows on all three.
Toys r Us was always profitable, it's the investment group that bought them and fucked them over that wasn't.
