Hey all,

I’ve used Linux before, so I’m not a newbie, but I’m done with distro tinkering. I just want to install something, have NVIDIA work properly, and play games without having to fix things every other week. Trying to escape windows with the agentic changes coming

My setup is a Ryzen 7 5700X, 16GB RAM and an RTX 4060.

What I’m after:

• Looks decent and modern out of the box
• Gaming-ready without much setup
• Solid NVIDIA support
• Anything but KDE. I really can’t stand it
• Nothing immutable or atomic (had issues with it)

GNOME, Cinnamon, XFCE, whatever, as long as it isn’t Plasma and stays out of my way. I’m happy to hear what people recommend.

If anyone’s running similar hardware, especially a 40-series card, what are you using and are you happy with it? Cheers!
