    This is a hit piece. Aurora is my daily driver for work and I think it’s great. It guarantees you always have a working system (assuming you use deployment pinning) and that alone is worth it to me for the stability and anxiety-free updates. If you switched to Bazzite for your gaming PCs last year like I did, Aurora is a natural fit for your productivity needs.

      I’m running Bazzite on my “everything” PC. Do you feel like Aurora has notable advantages? Seems to me that “gaming” distros like Bazzite are just ordinary distros with correct GPU drivers and a couple other niceties. I don’t see anything that detracts from productivity.

        Bazzite is perfectly usable for productivity in most cases. I have Aurora DX installed on my work box which comes with libvirtd and other sundries that you need for virtualization. You can do that with Bazzite but it would require layering.

          Eh, I only do embedded work which doesn’t work even with layering unless you layer everything which defeats the point.

          Good thing is that I just have a distrobox for embedded work that spins up whenever I need.
