By "core apps", you mean literally only two applications.
The terminal is replaced with one that has a container workflow because that is the recommended and expected workflow for anyone working in a terminal.
The store is replaced with Bazaar because it is the only one that is even trying to provide a good flathub experience.
Founder here, we have a sponsorship deal with Cloudflare that thankfully covers the vast majority of this. Our hosting costs right now for everything, including the GitHub runners, are $65, with the domain being another $100/yr.
The intention with the donations is to pay for those costs, travel for Linux conventions, and for us to have a fund for additional higher cost items like eventually doing proper secure boot support. At no point will myself or others be collecting a paycheck out of those funds, and I've been paying our bills for the last 3 years or so. I'm privileged to be able to do this as a hobby and not as a job.
Thank you for thinking about us! I appreciate the sentiment
You are though. Every Bazzite maintainer is a Universal Blue member, myself (The founder) included. Bazzite is a Universal Blue project and exists in the Universal Blue namespace on GitHub.
Nah, Northstar was made by a huge team of very talented people. I only contributed a very small feature for Linux users, but I'm glad I was able to help that project at all.
Nvidia drivers are not in beta, we use the latest stable for all nvidia releases. Only gamemode images are considered beta for reasons outside of our control.
We never specifically supported only AMD hardware.
I'm not sure why you think you can tell the founder of the project it's history. You might want to rethink what you're doing a bit.
Bazzite, there's a nvidia open and closed edition, both with the drivers preinstalled and ready to use.

That's it. Everything else is stock KDE.

They're so easy to install that you don't have to, it's built in
My point is you're not missing a damn thing.
See the problem is that you're a normal computer user and not one of the 3% that actually like the experience that is the traditional Linux desktop.
If you have no interest in gaming and want a modern development environment there's Aurora/Bluefin. Bazzite is just those with gaming bits added on.
That's simply not true
"The deliberate act of deviating from the truth. "
So your claim is that you're just doing it accidentally?

Please stop spreading misinformation.
You didn't, you're correct.
Why are you lying
You can just layer it
No, it comes with the rpm. We do not use the flatpak.

Gamemode image, exactly what I've been saying.
Nvidia was never beta, only game mode images, again, for reasons outside of our control.
Incorrect, we never put Nvidia in a beta program other than labeling game mode images as beta for, again, problems outside of our control.
That's fine, if your idea of support is AI hallucinations and actively lying to people I'd appreciate it if you never spoke of the project again.
Thanks
Everything up to and including ray tracing and DLSS works. Do not send me AI slop while lying to everyone around you.

Incorrect, Nvidia drivers were present since before 1.0's launch.
