Not that it's a bad thing, but did anyone ever offer something like Bazzite before?

OEMs were waiting for SteamOS because it shifts the OS support to Valve instead of DIY, but I wonder if anyone tried before SteamOS was ready.

Bazzite itself has an OS image specifically for handled PCs, and even desktop Bazzite has an option to boot into game mode basically "Big Picture mode"

They've had this for a while

I think he means if OEMs actually sold hardware with Bazzite on it.

Iirc there's a pre built company that offers mint, but I haven't seen anyone offer a gaming distro.
