You could maybe try Bazzite or Aurora/Bluefin.
They are all Fedora Atomic, the "immutable" Fedora variant, and offer baked in Nvidia support.
The cool thing is:
GTS
(or whatever it's called) variant around, which is the last major version of Fedora. You won't get the newest stuff and will be half a year behind in terms of features, but then there won't be any surprises. I believe thebluefin:gts
isn't around yet, but will come with the next major release.I did try Bazzite after this post - defaults to Nvidia 560 driver, which is still not the stable. Also installs extra things that I had to turn off - ended up re-wiping and going back to Fedora 40. I may retry in the future, though - but in general, I'm less interested in immutable at this point.
Thank you for the suggestions!
