I was just going for a very high level explanation. If you feel like offering a more in depth definition, feel free to do so here.

This video explains it well

If you want to really learn Linux, then absolutely Arch is the way to go. But OP is looking for something polished out of the box and probably doesn’t want to know much more than that. Some people just want a box that does the thing - and that’s totally fine.

I say all of this as a diehard Arch user (BTW)

Bazzite is probably the best recommendation out of everything I’ve seen so far. It is meant to be like the Steam Deck experience on any machine, and if OP is already familiar with that, why not transition easily?

Couple the familiarity along with Bazzite being an immutable distro, OP can just roll back if they break something.

I haven’t bought an HP product in many years, and I plan to continue this time honored tradition.

I started using Windows as a young lad, but when I tried using Linux I easily transitioned to KDE. Then I tried Gnome and loved it, used it for a few years before moving over to Hyprland a couple of months ago and I can confidently say that I won’t be going back.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention that the main reason I love Hyprland is because of the crazy level of customization. I use it primarily on my laptop and can navigate easily with keyboard shortcuts, clicking, and even trackpad gestures.

Don’t let somebody else’s idea of how to use a DE limit you, just configure whatever you want!

God forbid we actually rehabilitate people instead of profiting off of their enslavement and not actually giving a shit if they get better or not.

Gluetun can also be configured to write it’s forwarded port to a text file (if your VPN provider supports port forwarding), and then I have a custom script that runs when my qbittorrent container starts to read the port number and change the listening port in the config file. Works great!

I guess you’ve convinced me to sideload and smoke cigarettes.

I’m going to be so fucking cool.

Fun read

Soon, I hope

Our species is fucked anyways

Presonus apparently has a Linux version of Studio One
