Hi I’m the guy who posted the report. Your quote is exactly what it is, we use cloud native server tech to make Bazzite. Things like bootc, podman, OCI containers, etc.

all I want to run is a “normal” PC with a Linux distro.

That’s exactly what’s happening!

I don’t want is to have it running, or heavily integrated in some proprietary-ish cloud.

It does, just not ours, Valve runs that part. 😼 I’m happy to answer specific questions if you have any!
