Redhat package manager, used on distros like fedora, suse, rhel

This is rpm erasure

Also, get a sleep study for sleep apnea. “It is estimated to affect 10% to 30% of adults in the United States but in many cases goes undiagnosed”. -National Sleep Foundation

That’s the one! Damned good on the eyes, too.

MaXX is a new one for me, what’s that like to use?

I’ve got a thunderbolt chip on an AMD motherboard, which doesn’t usually happen, and I’m running an LG 5k monitor through it. I use an IBM model M over native PS/2. I’ve got a Ryzen 7, but a GTX 1060 cuz it still works. It’s running Ultramarine Linux, based on Fedora.

Elementary OS Freya. I love a good GUI

Can confirm Gnome has Wayland/xorg switching in the same manner.

Fedora is a great foundation for stability and up to date software. I personally use Ultramarine Linux; it’s a general purpose distro based on Fedora, but with more desktop environments, more available packages, more media codecs (plain fedora leaves out a bunch of codecs that you need to play audio or video files), and some more sane defaults. Even with all that, it isn’t noticeably more bloated than Fedora; it just gives you more options and makes it so that you don’t have to follow a “Things You MUST Do After I stalling Fedora” article.

Wayland works with Nvidia in my experience, and Wayland is remarkably stable and xorg-compatible. Folks will argue about that, but it’s been great for the few years I’ve used it on my laptop and desktop. I know at least Ultramarine installs both, and you can switch between them on the login screen, so give it a shot.

If your games don’t work, it’s quite normal to dual boot windows just for gaming.

Also, you might consider making your home folder a separate partition. That means you can reinstall and switch distros while leaving your documents and media and such in place. That said, partitioning manually is hard to get the hang of; let me know if you want some help on that front.

They said “free” and I elected to interpret that in the way that allowed me to make a little joke
