  • I don't think an audio distro is needed nowadays. I use endevour os, with a zen kernel or real time one (trivial to set up, just install one package) and used this tool to fine tune the setup https://codeberg.org/rtcqs/rtcqs Then it's pipewire, reaper, yabridge and not much else.

  • The 545 drivers are very buggy, at least for me. I downgraded to 535,hopefully we get an usable 545 soon. Also, if you feel like it you can report the issue in the nvidia forums, it might get some visibility there.

  • What's your DE? You can select your prefered file picker with an env flag. I'm in kde and somehow it defaults to gnome picker by default. Maybe it's the same for you and you don't have the gnome packages and it hangs? You can also run heroic from the console and see if it outputs any useful info when hanging.

  • Give nobara a try. It's fedora with focus on gaming. Mint is always a good option. Personally I use endeavour os, pretty straight forward to install but maybe a bit too barebones if you don't know what you need yet.

  • Not a fan at all of apple, but isn't the shift to arm not a "safe" movement at all? Like, they are breaking basically all the ecosystem of apps, legacy, etc... Also, from the outside, it looks like it went well? Sincerely asking, as I don't know.

  • I use endeavour os. Is arch made easy, while still being arch. It fills your needs, you can install any DE you like (kde myself) and a zen kernel with basically one command line. Also for nvidia if you go that way you just do "nvidia-inst" and are good to go. Another nice one that checks those boxes is nobara, a fedora spin focused on gaming.

  • Yeah. Well I have 2 + tv. I get some flicker on some xwayland apps, but right now my only remaining xwayland app is Reaper, afaik, at least the only one that flickers. No flicker on native wayland apps. Also, this workaround is worth at least trying to get rid of visual artifacts in kde:

    • Search in krunner or similar for "Plasma renderer", under "rendering loop" select "Threaded". Then reboot, not relog, reboot.
  • Endevour OS, 100%. Is Arch but without the hassle. I did the same as you, Manjaro then Endevour. Couldn't be happier. Also we have similar hardware (nvidia 3080) and kde+wayland is working really good here. If you would like to try something else, Nobara is great, based on fedora but with some gaming patches.
