i just don't do distrohopping, it's a pointless venture imo. started with arch linux as my main desktop, never went back.
tried some things occasionally, but i already sunk the time learning all sorts of things that may not even exist in other distros, configuring my system and the DE (and other things like zsh and vim setup), so it's just a waste of time honestly.
i'm thinking of using NixOS instead of Debian (what i used previously) for my upcoming server project though.
Well, gaming as a whole is likely just a blip to Nvidia nowadays. It doesn't make them money anymore like it used to, data center is where most of the money flows in. It's just that we'll buy anything Nvidia sells so we're basically guinea pigs for their public beta testing.
