I recommend Bazzite, been daily driving it on my Steam Deck and it's been great. It's not that far off from being Nobara's immutable cousin so you get a pretty up to date Fedora base with user friendly but powerful gaming specific tweaks and can pick (and switch between at any time) either Gnome or KDE Plasma variants.
Due to its immutable nature, you get pretty much risk free updates and if something does break, rolling back is as easy as picking a different item at boot time. It keeps everything updated with minimal interaction, OS updates happen in the background and apply the next time you reboot, user apps just keep themselves updated. Oh and it has a NVIDIA iso with the drivers baked in so you don't need to do anything special to enable them.
The one question mark is Optimus support, not sure if it's actually in but I'd guess it works since it's got some laptop specific builds. Might be worth a try.
Edit: I just remembered they do have Asus specific builds as well
Incredible tech huh? I'd toyed with the idea of immutable distros before with NixOS but found it a bit too restrictive so Kinoite and co are exactly the middle ground I was looking for.
With Bazzite specifically, I get a pretty damn up to date Fedora base, most of the annoying kernel/gaming things I want but don't want to mess with by default and also Nix + distrobox out of the box for development environments and some wiggle room for whatever I can't natively install. Just a great experience all around.
If OP is also interested in gaming, Bazzite is another great ublue-based choice. I've been daily driving it for a while on my Deck and it works beautifully. User friendly setup and low maintenance but has plenty of useful knobs power users can tweak.
Side note, I can't help but hope they give DLDSR the same treatment someday. I guess for that to happen actual DSR would have to be in first though and that doesn't sound too likely.
I could swear that back on the og app there was a download button in there or an option to show it, not sure if I'm imagining that or if it was rolled back for whatever reason
Gatus sounds pretty cool, I'll definitely give it a closer look later. Maybe it's the push I needed to go ahead and look into proper observability as a whole, log ingestion and whatnot. My homelab setup is sorely lacking on that department if I'm being honest lol
Ah, I was thinking of the original comment when I typed that but in hindsight I guess yours does work haha.
Gotta love good old Arch, someday soon I do hope to outnerd that regularly with "I use NixOS/Bazzite, btw".
It's worse than that, you can't even get it for yourself at all if you already own anything in there. Or at least I don't seem able to do anything but get it as a gift.
Apparently the publisher can either set it up like that or have the usual partial discount you mentioned, and Atlus unsurprisingly chose the most infuriating option.
I looked it up properly and I think takes such as this one, by the yuzu dev team, are what I was thinking of. Meaning, sure, some representation of the info is always available somewhere technically but it's not usually usable information.
That all said, I'm sure better heuristics and techniques will become available so here's hoping it gets easier in the future!
I thought emulators usually didn't have access to the motion vectors you need to implement stuff like this or DLSS? I seem to recall hearing about it at some point.
If that's indeed the case, it's probably not happening anytime soon because the article mentions FSR3 needs a FSR2 base to work with.
I'm not 100% sure about lock screen behavior since I don't have one set myself but I know it doesn't go to sleep as long as you keep it in the downloads page and it still has pending downloads, so I'd guess the same applies there.
