That’s a bit outdated by now, Störerhaftung doesn’t apply anymore for other people’s action on your WiFi

Resolve is working fine for me on Bazzite KDE, on Wayland, with an Nvidia GPU. Installed via ujust install-resolve

I mean I get your point, but it seems like at the current point in time, “Gaming” distros also happen to be the distros that produce the least amount of weird issues and headaches for someone new to Linux, especially if you’re on Nvidia. Bazzite in particular has been incredibly smooth sailing in a way I’ve seen no other distro achieve so far. And it does have a non-Gaming sibling distro if you don’t want that stuff.

if you run into any weird edge case issues it’s much more likely that someone else has already been there and discovered solutions

While that is true, the amount of those weird edge cases that you’ll get varies wildly between distros. In my experience so far on a somewhat comparable rig to OP, Bazzite has been the only one that actually just worked out of the box and had not a single hickup, while any other distro I’ve tried (Pop, Fedora and Arch) all had several issues that required troubleshooting.

So, I guess, for someone willing to actually understand Linux, learn, and troubleshoot issues themselves, your advice is the way to go, but for the relative who wants their system to just work and would call me anyway at any sign of trouble, I’m recommending Bazzite (or Aurora, I guess) all the way

Can you elaborate on this part?
