A bit of salt from me. This is why I don't like target-audience-optimized distributions.

Problem statement: speaker do not work properly (Asus Rog Z13 in my case).

Here what Bazzite does: obtains a firmware _somewhere_, stores in a no-license personal repo with a promise to rewrite repo history and purge files within 5 business days on contact, builds Bazzite-only installation script and pulls it in a main repo[1]. Users after that say, that Bazzite is the only distro where it works out-of-the-box.

Here what I did: contacted linux-firmware, was redirected by Mario Limonciello to Cirrus, contacted few Cirrus people who commit these firmwares, got response the same day. Same day Asus Rog Z13 firmwares were added to linux-firmware[2]. Was it simple? Hell yes. Why other people prefer to reverse-engineer instead? Today users say that Bazzite is the best, tomorrow they will see the price of this smoothness and it will turn into another Ventoy-style drama[3].
