Bazzite is a Fedora-based distro built for gaming. It includes gaming tools and updates the base system as a complete image, which takes effect after a restart. You can return to the previous image if an update causes problems.

Desktop apps are usually installed through Flatpak. Changes to the base system work differently from a conventional distro, so software installation instructions for standard Fedora won’t always apply.
