Even an immutable distro reliant on Flatpaks is going to be less bloated than Windows.
>When is it being immutable going to be a problem for me?
Only if you intend to modify core system files, or hate Flatpaks. If you're not noticing any issues, then your computer will be fine. I myself prefer mutable distros over immutable ones just so I can get the performance and disk advantages of normal software.
>Nobara
A very bad distribution. Used to be good but it's just broken now and tries to reinvent the wheel to the point that graphical app stores don't work and running sudo dnf update can break your system. It's pre-alpha software that's miserable every second you're not in a game.
>Cachy
Very good! Just make sure to get to get pamac for a nice graphical app store and that's it for the setup.
>Debian
It's more user-friendly than Mint (basically anything is nowadays) but it still defaults to ext4 and there's no GUI method to upgrade to the next Debian release.
>Fedora
Fedora is good but requires about 5-15 minutes of manual setup since it doesn't come with things like codecs. After that 5-15 minutes though it's completely self-maintaining, and unlike Bazzite you benefit from normal packages instead of being forced into Flatpaks.
>Linux Mint
Mint was good 10 years ago but Linux as a whole has become so much more user-friendly that Mint is just shit. All the conveniences people want just don't exist on Mint, never mind that its ancient repos will force you into shitty old kernels that halve your FPS across all games and give you years-out-of-date versions of programs. The people recommending Mint today haven't actually used it recently; they're just regurgitating forum posts written in 2017. Ever other distro has Cinnamon btw so Mint hasn't even that going for it.

tl;dr if you enjoy Bazzite, stick with it.

Lonlo. You have not used Mint recently. Mint is no longer a good or even necessarily user-friendly distro anymore.
