I have Bazzite running my Legion Go. The experience is so much better in its Steam Deck like frontend than the Windows 11/Legion App combo. And the desktop mode makes it a fully functioning desktop PC as well, if it is needed. All in all one of the smoothest experiences in terms of switching to Bazzite.
I can't recommend Bazzite (or one of its related distros Bluefin or Aurora) enough as a daily driver OS on your desktop and laptop. I dropped Windows this year and couldn't be happier about it.
Is it PITA to run if you have Nvidia GPU?
I'm running it with an nvidia GTX970 as my daily driver for months now and it's been flawless.
No, I also made the switch and honestly it's pretty much worked out of the box for me. I've got the integrated graphics with a discrete card too - I was worried initially, but it seems to handle it fine
I've had some sound issues, and a few games run worse or need some tweaking to run, but after dual booting for a while I'm considering wiping windows for extra storage
There's inconveniences, but with windows getting worse and Linux getting better I'm feeling pretty good about the deal
