It won't answer all of your answers, but it should at least give you a good primer on what distros are and what are the main key takeaways.

Seconded. I recently moved my gaming rig from Nobara to Bazzite because this machine is only occasionally booted, and I don't want to spend the little time I have available for gaming doing maintenance instead. Except from a mounting error for my secondary drive that I made (bc after 20+ years on Linux I still can't be arsed enough to learn how to fstab), I was in Cyberpunk 2077 in less than 5 minutes.
Pros:
- Easy setup, everything works out of the box
- A lot of preinstalled gaming-related packages and tweaks, plus a lot of QOL improvements over Silverblue/Kinoite
- Ready to game as soon as it's installed
- No updates, no maintenance! Full system images are downloaded and installed in the background and are applied at reboot.
- Immutable so "impossible" to fuck up.
- uBlue projects are not distros but a delivery system, all the work is actually done by Fedora. No risk associated with a single-maintainer project like Nobara.
Cons:
- Immutable so "impossible" to fuck up.
Pro tip: don't keep your Steam games on a Windows partition. They won't launch.
I'm guessing Portugal?
Nervosa is my favorite all-women band of all time. Super tight thrash/melodeath from Brazil.
I replaced the idiotically loud motherboard fan with a 24V 40/10 Noctua. It needs slightly longer screws than the stock ones but otherwise it's a drop in replacement. Noise levels are much more acceptable now.
Haha thanks !
I would like to say I'm used to fstab too but honestly I barely have to use it once every five years 😅
The issue was indeed from the fstab. But it was because exec was specified before users.
The games crash long before launching proton. I suspect something is fishy in the runtime or even before that.
Worst case scenario, I have to nuke this drive and start over. I'll keep digging tho.
Good call. I'm seeing some stuff I don't like, I'll investigate tomorrow.
Thanks!
