I have finally gotten rid of Windows

Luckily for OP, Bazzite won't let you do this. Not this easily at least.
Lame…..

So anyway, any beginner tips?
Mess around until it breaks. It's fun.
Also checkout "ricing linux." (There is a unixporn community here that can help you) -

Personally, I recommend quitting Windows cold-turkey and not dual-booting at all. If a game genuinely doesn't work without dual-booting, you don't need it. No game is so important that it's worth compromising your security, privacy, and property rights over.
Unfortunately some of us need windows for more than games, and there aren’t Linux alternatives

Curious about what you plan to play with them specs.

Neofetch came preinstalled, so I've used it

I guessed as much, I only say so because fastfetch was on the terminal prompt too - could it be both are preinstalled?

Execute "ujust" and marvel at what's possible right out of the box. If you used KDE check out some simple tips on how to configure cool windows effects. A little wobble makes all the difference. Browse the apps you can install, there are some pretty neat things in there you probably never heard of before.
And don't forget: once you got the things you want working, let the system fade into the background. No need to constantly tinker with your distribution unless you enjoy it.

I'm using GNOME because I like it more
And yeah, system fading into the background is the end goal

May be, tbh I didn't even read the MOTD until now

Runs pretty much everything in stable 60 fps, and I don't see any difference between medium and ultra settings
More specifically: DOTA 2, Pathfinder Kingmaker (took 4 hours to set this one up, and it's the SECOND time), Chrono Ark, 1000x Resist, They Are Billions, Mechwarrior 5 with friends, TTRPGs in browser, and some souls-like once I'm done with one of the listed games

Always make sure to remove the French language pack:

Only downvoted cuz no "/s" at the next line.

Yes gnome > KDE

This is not totally true. Deb packages will just activate the package manager and will mimic the feel of installing something on windows.
Bazzite is based on fedora atomic, which means I don't get debs and have to deal with flatpak, brew and distrobox
Okay, I kinda do get debs through the last one... I think. I've never used db before, my experience comes mostly from Ubuntu and Pop_OS!

IIRC on Bazzite neofetch is just a symlink/alias to fastfetch due to muscle memory and the overall prevalence of neofetch.

I totally agree - distro hoppers who complain about the "nightmare" of finding the right distro are living in a hell of their own making.

️ You just started a war. 
KDE > Gnome. 🤭I can't get excited about the Gnome interface. It somehow works in such an unfamiliar way. What is the advantage supposed to be?
