From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just use Bazzite. It updated automatically to F40 just a few hours after upstream, still has all security settings intact and is a joy to use.
Is bazzite good for general purpose use also?
It can be, but for that, I would rather recommend Aurora or Bluefin. They are almost the same, but without gaming stuff.
I use Bazzite on my gaming PC, and Aurora on my media laptop. I'm extremely happy with both.
Both links in your comment rendered invalid. Providing the correct links for other readers, based on the README from https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin :
Oh I guess, I meant to say is it good for general purpose use alongside gaming.
Yes it is, I personally daily drive it and it's great 🙌
Addtionaly, there is this post asking about the same. Might be worth reading the comments of you're curios🌻

Yeah, of course it is. I use it too for 3D-modeling, image editing and more.
For general purpose, it's pretty normal. Its' main advantages really only shine in gaming stuff.
But, to be fair, I don't know if the tweaks optimised for gaming don't negatively affect other stuff. I didn't notice anything yet, but you can't be sure.
I use it for general stuff and even to work, no issues.
