Best linux distro?
You're wondering if Bazzite can automatically mount your D drive and whether it's a suitable daily driver. It could work, but consider checking its stability and user reviews before deciding. For a daily driver, Caché OS Mint Manjaro might offer better reliability and familiarity.
Following my instructions should be effective even on bazzite. Their own documentation references GNOME Disks, https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/Auto-Mo...ry_Drives/. The KDE Autmount feature, if functional on bazzite, should remain intact even after updates, since it operates at the user level rather than system-wide. CachyOS may require additional patches and might have untested improvements, though these aren't necessarily negative. Mint appears to be stable; however, their desktop environments rely on xorg, which doesn<|pad|>’s might struggle with mixed refresh rates, color profiles, or fractional scaling. The environments provided by Mint are adapting to Wayland support, so test it and see how it performs. If you desire full Wayland compatibility now, consider GNOME or KDE. Manjaro has recently removed certain codecs on AMD systems—be mindful of this. For an Arch-based setup, EndeavourOS is an option, but keep in mind it remains rooted in the Arch lineage. In summary, my advice is to explore Arch or similar distros if you prefer them, but stay informed about their maintenance practices. Follow Arch news for updates and understand what a rolling release means. If you encounter issues with community packages, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg can help. Ultimately, try different distros and assess their fit for your needs. If bazzite suits you, go with it; otherwise, connect with the community for support. If you hit a roadblock, consider alternatives.
I see clearly, sir. Thank you for your guidance; I'll take your advice into account and try to improve. I'll update here or create a new post if needed.
You don't have a single best choice. Pick a distribution based on your requirements and taste. Start by verifying that your games or software work with Linux, including compatibility with tools like WINE. Personally, I favor Ubuntu—I run it on my Plex server. If you're setting up a new machine or prefer alternatives, Ubuntu is a solid option. Just because Microsoft dislikes Windows doesn't mean you should switch; GNOME appeals to me, and I'm more comfortable with it. Also think about whether Valve might release a Steam OS version for desktop.
It matches the versions available with Ubuntu LTS releases (like Mint). Applying real software in a distribution is the norm, not the rule. People generally seek reliable performance rather than flashy updates that might break the system. You can still patch what’s necessary if required. Alternatively, consider MX Linux (Debian-based), which already supports backports. For those needing the newest hardware or developers, a rolling distro is ideal and demands proactive maintenance. Each scenario has its own needs.
I used a Mac; they work well for gaming and making content, and they feel superior to Linux in my opinion.
