  • Bazzite.

    nVidia? Check.

    Gaming? Check.

    Customization? Yes…ish*

    If you want a bit more tradition (by that i mean it works like a typical linux system) and a good base, choose CachyOS.

    nVidia? Check.

    Gaming? Check.

    Customization? Check.

    (extra) The AUR? (the second biggest software repo in the entirety of linux) Check.

    .

    If you aren’t much focused towards gaming, choose Pop!_OS.

    NoVidea**? Check.

    Gaming? No.

    Customization? Check.

    *Jux customized KDE Plasma using Kvantum (an extra package, not preinstalled), Panel Colorizer, System Settings and RTFM. Some of those packages may be hard to install or unavailable on Bazzite due to it’s atomic (something either happens or not) and immutable (you are phohibited to touch system directories) nature.

  • i ALREADY tried image-based distros. Several of them. In both VMs and bare-metal.

    And also, are you too lazy to update your system occasionally, which is a simple command or a few clicks? Because how is needing to click a few buttons every few weeks/months “bad UX”?

    Besides, whatever atomic distro you mention has a small repo; you can’t find shit. (Unless you’re talking about NixOS, which i doubt since you need to reboot to update.)

    if you REALLY want an atomic distro that you can rollback, and having packages that are secure, use NixOS.
