do i understand correctly that IBM/redhat (fedora) provides the server, which provides the updates to bazzite and packages it up?no, fedora which is financially backed by redhat which is owned by ibm provides most of the software packages, including core tooling (rpm-ostree, for example). most of the software is written by various foss developers around the world, which is then packaged by redhat/ibm/fedora.
are there also costs at github? if so, who pays them and how high are they?no idea if ublue is sponsored by github or if it exceeds the free 2000 minutes of CI/CD runtime or anything of those sorts, you need to ask a core member however they're unlikely to be willing to share the answer.
the question if bazzite is good or not i rather meant if most pc people stay on bazzite or switch to other distros (in the pc/ desktop area)idk, im personally staying on it and a decent bit of people are. everyone is free to choose their own thing.
if the infrastructure is designed for the long term (and is paid / provided (presumably, nobody can look into the future))unless github stops providing their CI/CD services named actions and packages, there should be nothing that can break universal blue's systems. things that are likely to be paid for out of pocket are: the extra ci/cd time, potentially some full time developers altho as far as im aware ublue doesnt have any atm, and domains. infrastructure wise bazzite doesnt rely on selfhosting services and instead relies on github primarily.
i need an operating system that is simple and has relatively up-to-date drivers.bazzite has a fresh mesa and a fresh kernel, so that should be good for u
also, that there is a team behind it and not just one person and that it works.there are multiple contributors to this project, anyone can contribute if they're willing to. there is not a team (well, kinda, not a paid one anyway) nor a single person, its anyone who wants to provide code or assets or anything.

actual development for ublue is done by volunteers and mostly consists of system configuration and images, not from packages / first party utilities

it's mostly IBM/redhat (fedoras corporate backer, which is upstream of ublue so technically all their work is used by ublue too) and community (both fedora and ublue)
