Looking for a modern, usable Linux OS preferably immutable (lemm.ee)

I have been trying some of the immutable linux OSes because from what I understand they are more modern and feature better security and reliability. What I have found so far is shocking. Half of these don't support my laptop (probably because it's nvidia optimus). Some I tried like guix were very difficult to install, configure, and use with sprase documentation. Good luck trying to use KDE, wayland, or pipewire for example. BlendOS was notably better and could at least run on my laptop but chocked with nvidia driver issues.

I have switched to pop os on my laptop for now but looking at alternatives and what to install on my desktop.

You should have said that from the start. CUDA doesn't work properly on MicroOS because it can't be fully installed, at least in my attempts.

And I have no idea why you think it's my OS. Next time provide detailed information. I wouldn't have responded otherwise.

And your Nvidia card supports G06. Do some basic research.

    You made it sound like G05 is a graphics card, not a piece of software. I haven't used OpenSUSE in a long time so I am am not sure why you think it's reasonable for me to know distribution specific names for packages.

    Having CUDA comes with an Nvidia card. I don't get why I have to specify that. Just telling someone to buy a new laptop is not really good advice when they are asking you to suggest a Linux distro. It's kinda rude.
