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.Also, the Nvidia version comes with X11 set up, iirc, and you can swap compositors in the login screen (should be SDDM).
I personally think X11 shouldn't be used anymore. Fedora dropped official support for it recently iirc and it will soon be deprecated, so it might be even worse in the future.
Wayland works perfectly fine under Gnome from what I've heard, and with Plasma, it should be working great too.
Yeah, I'm ready to be done with X11. Dunno why Fedora with a perfectly working Wayland & Nvidia and updates set to manual will not offer Wayland in the session manager at login about 80% of the time. Must be something I'm doign wrong, but IDK what it is. I wish I had wayland 100% of the time o'er here.
