I myself have been using linux for 15 years and disagree with what you’ve said.

1. Learn how to install and update on Endeavor and you won’t have to worry about much - it just works, on any hardware.

Fedora always breaks on me, whether it be nvidia or amd. I used to love Fedora but found it breaks far more than otherwise.

The Linux vernal is designed to work on up to current gen hardware. If anything the current gen nvidia stuff is rough (40 series). I’ve had no issues with 30 series or 7000 series amd GPUs.

2. Why? Nothing wrong with using extensions. They’re usually updated within a week if Gnome or KDE breaks them. With gnome I’ve had 10+ extensions with 0 issues across multiple computers.

3. Not true. My dual boot has never broken on multiple computers. Whether is be Debian, Ubuntu, fedora, or arch.

4. Also not great advice. I found Endeavor OS, which is Arch to run the best. PopOS was the only other one that just worked.

5. This I do agree with; hyprland, i3, etc take a long time to fine tune. While tiling managers do help with productivity, setting them up takes a while.

6. Flatpaks should not replace system packages. They tend to be updated much slower and scaling can be weird on them.

I use hyprland with KDE as my fall back.

My hyprland config is 95% stable but some apps give me a hard time, so I’ll just run them in KDE.

I find KDE just works. With a baby, things need to work more often than not.
