I think that Bazzite is the better OS for general purpose systems. I prefer the newer software (especially Kernel, Mesa and KDE) and I really like the ujust scripts.

Maybe for certain Collector’s Editions, but overall I don’t need optical media when the games are DRM-free anyway.

True, depending how relevant that is for you. I usually don’t care, except for few games like the Final Fantasy VII remake series.

That’s it. Patient gamers usually get the complete, most polished experience of a game for the lowest price.
