Yeah I tried Bazzite. Idk if its because I'm already in club tuxedo, but the whole immutability thing did not work for me when it didn't work with my hardware out the gate.

But if it had, wow, what a slick experience.

    If I'm not mistaken (and I might be) the immutability can actually be toggled off for power users.

    Hmm. Well I was on a tear of trying new operating systems trying to get a bit of bleeding edge kit working. I was about to be traveling and I needed it to just work. Bazzite had a release specific to my model... and it all seemed hunky dory, until it wasn't and I couldn't get in and wrench. I think in that week I probably went through 20+ different ISO's and install scripts trying to get to an install that would let me use the GPU acceleration I paid for. Tried fedora, bazzite (and bazzite did work, but I had issues with the wifi/ blue tooth driver, but I had to do containers/ sandboxes to actually use RoCM), ubuntu, others.

    I ended up on Ubuntu for this machine because at least I can wrench on things, and I wasn't prepared to take the Arch jump off the diving board (at least not on a new machine before traveling). And its been "fine".

    But I genuinely do no like the Ubuntu experience. Once I can slick this machine (when I'm done with my current project), I'm going to go to Fedora because that should allow me to stay with the most up to date kernel.

    Have you given Kubuntu a try? KDE Plasma is wonderful.

    Its more about being on the edge of hardware. The kernel is still being updated to support my chip. What wrapper goes around that kernel is secondary. What fedora allows is for me to stay up to date as relevant kernel patches come through.

    I went and jumped off the deep end and went straight to Arch with my main rig. However without reading and tinkering you won't exactly have a fun time. But if you're comfortable enough with command line, then you can get it working how you want. It does work quite well now that I have it setup. Even with Zen kernel and NVIDIA open dkms.
