What if I want something like KDE or another window manager?
Bluefin is an opinionated GNOME experience. However Universal Blue provides a maintained set of base images for anyone to be able to make a custom image. We hope Bluefin acts as an inspiration for others to build their own communities around user experiences. For example check out Bazzite if you want a great KDE gaming experience, similar to SteamOS.
Bluefin is one of the many Universal Blue images. Under the full image list https://universal-blue.org/images/, there are images for KDE (under the name Kinoite), Cinnamon, Mate, Budgie, Deepin, LXQt, and others.

I went looking for KDE, but was disappointed. From the FAQ on https://projectbluefin.io/:
The Bazzite link 404s, but there is info at https://universal-blue.org/blog/2023/11/08/bazzite-20/ and https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite. Seems mostly focused on SteamDeck.

Thanks! More on Kinoite here: https://fedoraproject.org/kinoite/
The base Bazzite image is actually meant for desktops. Bazzite-deck is a build for the steam deck, as well as HTPCs.
