I've been testing out Bazzite for the past few days, enjoying features like the Steam game mode and a lot of preconfigured settings. However, I'm running into an issue where my Xbox Elite 2 paddles work when connected via USB but won't connect through Bluetooth. Interestingly, when I tried Fedora Kinoite, the paddles worked flawlessly over Bluetooth right off the bat. Managing an immutable operating system has been a bit frustrating, so I'm thinking about moving back to Fedora KDE, which is more traditional. Is this a good direction to take, generally speaking? What should I consider when choosing between a standard distro and a forked one?

It’s not a straightforward answer. While forked distros can come with extra features that might help, they often carry more bloat. But many users prefer upstream distros for their efficiency and quicker updates. It sounds like switching to Fedora KDE might be a solid option for you!
Honestly, if you find a derivative that has the support you need, go for it! They're not all bad. Just remember that some can introduce extra complexity. If Fedora KDE suits your needs for gaming and general use, I say go for it!
Most of the time, yeah, sticking to popular, well-supported distros is safer. Trying the latest trendy distros can lead to unexpected issues down the line.
I tried Kinoite and had issues with certain games too. It's a bummer when things don’t just work! I guess it really depends on your setup.
