If I'm trying to learn bazzite as a new user, is it best to just learn fedora? (sh.itjust.works)

My fiancee runs bazzite, this was her choice but she's horribly non techy. I often have to help her with tech support but I don't use Linux, I've been thinking of switching over just so I can learn and fucking keep her PC from breaking all the time but I don't want to use bazzite. Would I learn by using what I hear it's based off of? (Fedora)

Actually, it's your ultimate goal. You said you want her PC to not break. And you want to accomplish it by learning and then fixing it yourself. Well, I'm here trying to help you diagnose the issue & possible solutions.

I was trying to collaborate with you. Help me help you.

To answer your question, Bazzite and all other diestros developed by Universal Blue project are all downstream modifications of the Fedora Silverblue base image, which in turn is downstream of Fedora itself.

If you want to use the closest thing to Bazzite but you don't want it to be focused on gaming, you could go for Aurora or Bluefin (both Universal Blue distros).

But if the issues she's having are related to GPU stuff, you should use the same hardware and compositor (valve's gamescope/KDE plasma kwin/ gnome mutter) which depends on the distro and variant you pick.

If you could tell us the issues she's having, we could be of greater help.
