Even with SteamOS coming to more systems Bazzite has no plans to go anywhere (www.gamingonlinux.com)

Bazzite is what got me started on fedora and so so far so good on 3 gaming machines. Using kinoite on a thin client to run Kodi for TV viewing

I've about had enough of mint on the gaming laptop and am obviously considering slapping bazzite on that one also, but nix or endeavour sound like pro-style shit, so I'm also considering them!

Nix is a scary place...

Join us.

Honestly became obsessed with NixOS last year and haven't turned back, I'm not much into the gaming side of things these days but installing steam and running a few games has never been easier.

I'm on endeavour for my devices, def a solid option!

I like what the mint team does on their end but I'm over Ubuntu. If mint shifts their base to debian I'll consider it again.

There is Mint Debian Edition if you're interested. Lacks some of the homegrown tools of the main edition last I checked, but it's there for those who want it.

i think you got the URL and text backwards. Try [description](http://url.com/)

That actually was exactly it. Can't believe I missed that multiple times while editing the comment. Thanks for the help.

Absolutely, it's a good move. I've been recommending that to friends who are hesitant to branch out of Debian and are over Ubuntu.

I'm hoping mint eventually makes LMDE their default. Tho until then, even just a baseline install of Debian is easy enough these days.

That's it, thanks. The Markdown to make it part of the comment just isn't working for me for some reason.
