100 means peak popularity. 50 means half of that. That's how Google Trends work.
They don't wanna give you actual numbers. That might be useful. eww...
Then why do the other 2 never reach 100?
They would, if you looked at them individually. It's a percentage based on peak of any of the searched terms. This means at its peak only 25% as many people were googling the ROG vs the Deck at its (separate) peak.
I see, thanks

I bought a Legion Go last week, and so far I'm really happy with it. The first thing I did was delete Windows and install Bazzite, and from that moment everything was smooth. The larger size is nice, and so far I had no issues running games pretty comfortably.
Dude bazzite is the shit, I have it installed for my gaming PC. I don't think I will use a mutable distro for a gaming rig again
I'm planning to do that, I've been running Nobara for the past year, but I don't have /home on separate partition and Idon't want to bother with moving data, so I'm postponing it. What are the advantages, are is there something I should watch out for before switching?
So I'm newer to Linux as a whole so some of this maybe a bit off but:
Immutable distros big difference is you can't mess with the root partition ( you can there are just more steps involved), it's read only. The advantage to this is it's harder to fuck up your system, and it's described as more secure. The downside is if you need a program that isn't available in a flatpack, snap, or app image it's a pain in the ass. Bazzite ships with distrobox which essential allows you to run a different distro in a container to use programs available to that distro, ex: you can run the Debian version of Firefox on a fedora system. Not all issues can be avoided with this, compiling code for instance is still a nightmare with distrobox
Now the good things: no live updates so an update won't get messed up from a live install The system will update in the background and then when you fire it up next time THEN you are in the updated version. Bazzite is atomic specifically (an immutable subset) that applies updates all at once or not at all if it fails, you can also always roll back to a previous version at the GRUB menu. After it updates to the new image it then applies the local personal layers, so every update it kinda like starting with a fresh install
The main thing to look for is that any apps you want to use are supported in a flakpack, if all you are doing is gaming then you shouldn't have to worry, both lutris and steam come with bazzite
Here is a link to a Lemmy post with community opinions on immutable distros
I'm actually in the process of trying to relocate my /home directory (to a folder in a separate partition, not a separate disk) for my Bazzite desktop installation, so if anyone with tips happens to see this please say so!
I mostly wonder whether I would be able to just copy and paste /home from Nobara to Bazzite, and apps like steam or lutris/wine games would keep working, or if it's more complex than that.
Yeah I hear ya. No old spare drive you can use to test the process before committing?
Ooh, that's actually a good idea, just installing it on a separate removable drive, copying it over and seeing what works. Thanks!
Hell yeah, good luck and have fun!
While I agree you should always label, google trends is specified so the 0-100 is clear with that context; 0 = not popular/searched, 100 = peak trending
Average monthly share of search is a leading indicator of total market share.
