Graphs can be found here on their github. Since around mid November the active user count for Bazzite has gone up by around 16k active users.

Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive

    Sample size of 1, here.

    Bazzite was my initial entry-point into Linux, but I bounced off it within 48 hours as its immutable nature made it impossible for me to install the native PIA VPN client and for the life of me I couldn’t get the OpenVPN to play nice.

    Currently on CachyOS, and seems to run just fine - giving an end user just enough rope 😅

    Plus it’s Arch underneath the hood too, so I can still cheekily say that I run Arch!

    ETA: I wonder if/how long I would count as part of this Bazzite cohort?

          mullvad is a better choice anyways. you can also download a wireguard config and load it directly into the network manager

            While I agree, it’s a pretty lame thing to say “This doesn’t work for your use case? That’s because your use case is wrong” If the distro doesn’t support PIA, then that is an issue with the distro, not the user.

              Nah, it’s an issue, full stop. PIA isn’t responsible for making its shit work everywhere (tho it would be a more responsible approach to use an universal approach) and Bazzite isn’t responsible for making sure every program works on the distro.

      Yeah, getting PIA running without the native client has been a bit rough. These days I’ve just gotten use to starting a terminal as soon as I log-in, but I probably need a more permanent solution. maybe it’ll be switching to cachy as well.

      Yeah I struggled with reading my rom library over SMB so also had to install something else.

        I barely know what I’m looking at! 😅

        Pretty sure I tried poking around that file on Bazzite also to see if I could locate the RPM to try and do a manual terminal install - but gave up after a few minutes.

          sudo rpm-ostree install foo.rpm

          Should work. I’ve been doing this with the mullvad VPN client. Only annoyance is that I have to manually install when there’s an update (the app notifies me)
