I've been distro hopping lately and landed in fedora gnome, it seems to be a nice, stable OS, good for personal PC use (might try the kde version on my laptop, seems like a better experience). I haven't even checked on gaming tho, haven't touched the pc for that since I got the steam deck
I was using Fedora for a bit, and I was really enjoying it even though I had a few quirks that were annoying (thanks Nvidia). Once 38 dropped though, the update broke my install, so I figured it was time to disto hop again and see what else is out there. I’m currently trying OpenSuse, but it’s just clunky enough that I’m not sure how I feel about it
I get the Nvidia issues for sure, I also tried Fedora but just felt more comfortable once getting acclimated to arch. I'd say give it a whirl if you are up for it. It works well with my Zephyrus G14 which also has an Nvidia GPU.
Not trying to sell you on it but you may like it, maybe try it in a Virtual Machine for a bit?
I don’t have any important data in my Linux I stand eon my pc, so I’m not really worried about losing data thankfully. I’m trying to find that Linux distro that feels comfortable for me. since I’m not planning on upgrading to windows 11, I have 2ish years to figure that out lol. I’m willing to give it a try though and see if I like it.
Server wise I’m pretty comfortable with Linux since I use it on a regular basis there. I need to lock down which distro I use though since half of my VMs are Ubuntu, and the other half are fedora lol. Makes it hard to standardize anything
