Bazzite shutting down would be tragic ( for me ). I've been quite happy with it. Slowly convincing people to switch. Bazzite was also a relatively low step compared to fixing them a standard distro as all the stuff they want/need is already readily available.
Telling people I decided to promote another distro because the old one stopped is only going to make me have to restart my efforts with an additional hurdle ( how do you know this one won't stop ).
I tried a few distros. But I didn't like garuda very much, nobara was okay'ish. Bazzite really clicked for some reason, despite needing a bit of getting used to.
I'd hate to go distro hunting again. Or try and update cpu schedulers and not brick the whole system.
Maybe don’t chase the FOTM distro and go for one of those who have stood the test of time?
Would I be in this situation if I took fedora, a distro that has withstood the test of time? Yes.
Bazzite being fairly new is completely besides the point.
Bazzite and the rest of universal Blue would rather call them a custom install of Fedora rather than a distro IIRC.
