Also you don’t need that on arch /endevour. There are old nvidia drivers on the aur (I’m in the same situation than you and use those)

I use endevour on my main PC but bazzite in the laptop, which I barely use, so I wanted something that didn’t mind not updating for a month and be fine, and bazzite nails that. I use distrobox for terminal things and vpn software for work is layered. No issues so far and very tempted to run it in my main PC, probably would do that if when arch breaks.
Yeah no issues for me. Just ran the script to upgrade and reboot. All plugins are also working.
My client of choice! Nice!
Probably the web app works better than the native app. Also, try the flatpak if you still prefer native, it’s better than what’s on the repos imo.
Yeah, I also gave garuda a try but it was too messy for my taste, like I had to spend time un-costumizing kde because I just wanted vanilla plasma.
Personally I haven’t had that issue. I had lots of issues with latest 545 but downgraded to 535 and it’s all good so far.
Endevour os for me. No issues on kde nvidia and wayland, pretty straightforward installation. If I were you I’d do some distro hopping in the new PC. I’d try one of those ublue images, then nobara then endevour and see what you prefer.
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.
I use teams for Linux, and it has notifications. I used teams Pwa on Firefox before and that also had notifications.
Another one for the endevour os team. Not looking to distro hop anytime soon.
For me it would be nobara or endevour os. Garuda is too messy imo. I run endeavour, but I don’t know how much gaming is possible on a nuc.
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.
All my windows vst work great and with pretty much no configuration with yabridge. I think some heavy drm’ed vsts are a bit more problematic but most (all in my case) work.
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.
Can’t really help you but it might be worth it to bug it in pipewire gitlab.
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.
Omv, that is debian with a Web interface basically
