What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

    Fedora Silverblue – a very good balance of immutable distro and user friendliness. Stability and reliability of being immutable without low-level hacking like in Nix / Guix.

        I use immutable distros for the stability, and the nixOS approach isn’t for me.

        You can install whatever you like using a tool called distrobox, which allows you to run containers easily.

        I have an arch Linux container, and I have access to the entire AUR if I so please. I use that container to run Steam, and performance was the same as on Bazzite using the natively installed Steam.

          I do this too, being able to use Arch’s packages while having Kinoite’s stability is a really, really nice combo.

          But because the apps are running in containers, the performance will take a hit. And also the customization.

      There’s also secureblue, which is a fedora atomic fork with nice security hardening
