I use KDE Neon on my laptop and I’d prefer to have KDE as a DE on this one too (if possible) but I don’t mind a non Ubuntu base. Basically I’d just like to be able to play games on it without much hassle but I know how to paste commands into the terminal if the need arises.
Thanks for the warning. I am currently running Fedora (because “it just works”) and I’m drowning in bugs and incompatibilities.
I was considering Bazzite because of all the recommendations, but considering my luck (and probably my hardware combination) I’d probably end up just like you described.
