Linux. I don’t want “using the computer” to turn into a hobby that I need a computer science degree for.

Bazzite is super easy to use and sets everything up for you.

I don’t like using it because it doesn’t allow you to mess with your computer as much as I like to, but that makes it perfect for normal people.

There are very, very few things that Bazzite prevents you from doing. Usually they just have an alternative approach (e.g. in a Distrobox) to ensure the stability of the system.

I mean it doesn’t allow you to mess with your computer at easily as I like to.

Do you have anything concrete in mind? I don’t feel like the atomic Fedora variants make it harder for me to mess with my computer once I’ve learned their approach.

I didn’t want to learn their approach, I just wanted to install a software.

Sure, that’s fair, but then you shouldn’t go around saying “those distributions make it harder to mess with your computer”. Your criticism seems to instead be “I can’t use the tooling and processes I already know”, which again is fair, but definitely a separate issue.
