What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?
I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

A question - can I use Bazzite for uses other than gaming? I game on my laptop, but most of the time I’m writing code. Could I use it for that or should I go for something like Fedora, Debian or Arch?
I would say that development is the one thing that can get very annoying on immutable distros.
Flatpaks can only get you so far (as seen by the VS Code Flatpak’s limitations that have to be worked around). I don’t even use VS Code, so I can get around that pretty comfortably, but I have to use Distrobox for a lot of miscellaneous developer tools, and even then, I still run into problems and I can’t install container tools inside of the containers that I’m already working in.
Not to discourage you from trying. I can still get by with some dev work on Bazzite, but it’s waaay easier to do the same dev work on CachyOS (Arch-derivative) because I can just install shit normally and it will work.
You absolutely can. There’s a small learning curve for using immutable distros, but once you get a handle on it, it works great.
