From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but this has nothing to do with what OP asked. You're talking about all immutable systems, and OP isn't asking about those.
Also, I feel like I need to defend OoenSuse here a little. Their KDE support on Tumbleweed is excellent, and has a long track record of being good. The brand-new OpenSuse Kalpa - the Plasma desktop they're building from MicroOS - is a brand new project that's in beta.
Kinoite is great, I'm sure. But it's not what this thread is about.
Yeah totally right. I just heard from some probably biased people that Kalpa would never exit beta and their main focus was only on GNOME.
Which is not about Gaming. So yeah still, I guess if you have all the unfree packages native apps may run better than Flatpaks
