To me Bazzite is for game-box console-like PC you leave in your living room. If you want to also have a desktop experience, pick a desktop OS. EndeavorOS for rolling release. Anything Ubuntu or Debian based for stability. LMDE comes to mind.
In any event running games through steam/proton will be mostly plug and play anyways. Kernel mods are a thing but pretty much just extra and not really necessary.
This is a great start, I’m using arch on my laptop which has been working for me but sometimes I spend more time troubleshooting settings than actually doing anything productive.
And yea I hear a lot of good things about Bazzite but the form-factor feels maybe just a bit too steam-machine/game oriented.
i think they have installed too many extensions to the desktop environment to make it appear console-like, but i disabled almost all of them and use mine for development and everything desktop-oriented
it just happens to do gaming flawlessly at the same time unlike many other distros i’ve tried over the years
Bazzite seems to be the go-to answer for linux gaming.
Though, shouldn’t it not matter? It’s all linux. It should all perform just the same.

bazzite is a perfect desktop os and development os and is also a rolling release
and you can rollback releases unlike most other distros, in the unlikely event you have a bad update
