@frameworkcomputer unless it can run the elderly Falcon 4 based BMS (and, ideally, its addendant .bat file based EZBoards tool (yes, I know, but it is what it is)) then it's a non-starter for me.

And when I tried Mint last year, DCS didn't work properly, and performance in VR in general was poor. I dared not even try BMS.

It's not ease of use that's the issue, or you-beaut storefront integration. The issue isn't mainstream games. The be all and end all is compatibility (including for games in that weird and bad period between DOS and modern Windows), at least for me it is. In my experience it's just not there yet. Unless things have changed since December last year?

That said, I tried Mint. Perhaps Bazzite has more tricks up its sleeve?...
