That said, I did just spend almost half a day trying to debug why SuSE couldn’t see my NVIDIA card. After giving up on that, I tried Fedora which forces Wayland on me and was stuttery for no obvious reason. Finally I tried Arch and it seems to work fine without much fiddling about.
Meanwhile I can buy a Mac and use it immediately, and Windows is a pain but I never have to try 100 solutions before it works.
That’s on me for using NVIDIA though, I’m sure it’s much smoother with Intel and AMD hardware.
