That's kinda where I'm at. Everyone says CatchyOS, CatchyOS, it's smoother, stable, no issues. And I'm here on bazzite with all the same pros and cons list without seeing a different, I figured id try it myself since all the cons people seem to have on bazzite I haven't had.
I'd say, don't bother. For me, I was already on Arch, as I've been for years, so switching package repositories isn't a big deal and I could just as easily switch back. So when I noticed some minor performance issues with Arkham Knight on base arch, I thought "why not". There's also the fact that Bazzite can't work for me because of its immutable nature. If you're happy with how things are going right now, I don't think there's a reason to switch. Of course, there's always the "why not" factor for everyone :)
That's a fair point. I'm mostly curious because installing flatpacks are just a bit of pain. I have to finesse it using the terminal. unlike Mint, where I can click it like a windows .exe and it installs. The other option is trying out Manjaro since that's based off Arch and probably the closest to SteamOS in terms of distro.
For installing Flatpaks via GUI, if you're using GNOME, you can use Bazaar or GNOME Software and if you're on KDE, you can use Discover. I'll always recommend staying away from Manjaro though. Holding packages for 2 weeks breaks AUR compatibility often and as a former AUR package maintainer, I'm not a fan of that. They sometimes end up delaying important fixes too and they have a history of neglecting security. I'd definitely recommend cachyOS over Manjaro. CachyOS also has a very friendly forum if you end up needing help. For something more similar to Manjaro and closer to Arch (without all the performance patching and stuff), EndeavourOS is a great option. Ah well, basically, anything other than Manjaro.
