What are the benefits of Bazzite over Proton? I'm not sure where I would use this.

Bazzite isn't an alternative to proton. Bazzite is a distro and still uses Proton. Bazzite is an alternative to SteamOS.

Ahh, I see, thanks! Is it like Jovian then? I've been wanting to install an OS for games onto my NUC.

It's like Jovian in the sense that it takes the "immutable" (for some reason I have heard it being called "atomic" too) approach to installing things.

Honestly I don't have to think too much about it, and that's the way I like it, for a gaming system. It works, it gets updates, it lets me install games, they run ok.

Yeah, same, I'll install Bazzite ASAP, thanks!
