It’s a Linux distro that is gaming focused. Based on Fedora but preloaded with gaming software like emulators and Steam. It’s pretty easy to install and run without knowing anything about Linux so it’s growing in popularity among gamers that don’t like Microslop.
I think it's important to point out (for someone familiar, such as everyone on lemmy obviously) that Bazzite is based on the immutable Fedora Silverblue.
Being immutable makes it apparently stable, but comes with tradeoffs (you are basically limited to flatpaks for installing things, or at least highly discouraged from using other install methods).
If you want a gaming focused distro that is based on the standard Fedora, I can recommend Nobara. Their default version now uses KDE but I use the Gnome version. I think KDE did something recently to make everyone angry but I can't remember what (AI related maybe?), I use Gnome because I like it.
