Omv, that is debian with a Web interface basically

Also you don’t need that on arch /endevour. There are old nvidia drivers on the aur (I’m in the same situation than you and use those)

I use endevour on my main PC but bazzite in the laptop, which I barely use, so I wanted something that didn’t mind not updating for a month and be fine, and bazzite nails that. I use distrobox for terminal things and vpn software for work is layered. No issues so far and very tempted to run it in my main PC, probably would do that if when arch breaks.

Yeah no issues for me. Just ran the script to upgrade and reboot. All plugins are also working.

My client of choice! Nice!

I’d say distrobox is the easiest and safest way to do that.

I use a yubikey (couldn’t chose, it’s from work) and I have no issues with it working out of the box (endevour os). I just touch the “button” and it “types” the key.

Plus one for ublue images

Qt no doubt.

If you are in the fedora mood, try nobara os. It’s fedora but with a spin on gaming, patches and some gui tools also. You can also try an inmutable distro like bazzite, which is also fedora and also focused on gaming. My advise would be to try a couple of things now that your system is clean and stick with whatever you like best.

Using heroic to play avatar. Just add uplay as a game and download anything there.

Probably the web app works better than the native app. Also, try the flatpak if you still prefer native, it’s better than what’s on the repos imo.

Yeah, I also gave garuda a try but it was too messy for my taste, like I had to spend time un-costumizing kde because I just wanted vanilla plasma.

Personally I haven’t had that issue. I had lots of issues with latest 545 but downgraded to 535 and it’s all good so far.

Endevour os for me. No issues on kde nvidia and wayland, pretty straightforward installation. If I were you I’d do some distro hopping in the new PC. I’d try one of those ublue images, then nobara then endevour and see what you prefer.

I don’t think an audio distro is needed nowadays. I use endevour os, with a zen kernel or real time one (trivial to set up, just install one package) and used this tool to fine tune the setup https://codeberg.org/rtcqs/rtcqs Then it’s pipewire, reaper, yabridge and not much else.

I use teams for Linux, and it has notifications. I used teams Pwa on Firefox before and that also had notifications.

Another one for the endevour os team. Not looking to distro hop anytime soon.

For me it would be nobara or endevour os. Garuda is too messy imo. I run endeavour, but I don’t know how much gaming is possible on a nuc.

All my windows vst work great and with pretty much no configuration with yabridge. I think some heavy drm’ed vsts are a bit more problematic but most (all in my case) work.
