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.

So, story time I guess. Once, during a party (on the street) a friend shat himself. No warning, just a couple of seconds before the fact, he stated "I'm shitting myself" and he, in fact, did. We were close to a bar that was closing, and he begged the dude at the bar to let him in for a quick bathroom break, all this while we were literally rolling on the floor laughing our asses off. He did what he could in the bathroom (the damage was extense). Also, think of that poor dude that was about to leave and now had a bathroom full of poop and dirty underwear. So, this friend wisely decides that the night is done for him, takes a taxi and goes back home. A couple of hours later he calls us(we were 100% still laughing) and asks us where are we... He went home, took a shower and came back like nothing happened. 💪💪💪

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

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.

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.

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.

It's about to ask you if you have any games in your phone.

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.
