If that’s really all there is to it at the moment, sounds great! The other obstacles are my nvidia graphics card, and HDR support…
I've had good experiences with my Nvidia card on Aurora (same basis as e.g. Bazzite), but HDR is indeed still an issue.
I haven't had any issues with my 3070, and HDR works fine on kde-arch
i feel like desktop nvidia cards are ok, laptop nvidia cards are a nightmare because of the weird igpu/dgpu shit under the hood
That's why I chose a laptop without iGPU, because only one GPU means less hassle.
Guess what: the Nvidia drivers aren't setup for laptop dGPUs without iGPU. It's horrible, even worse than my last laptop with two GPUs.
And the battery life is ridiculous.
