MODERATORS
yes, i had the same desktop, just different stock background. My only problem with kde is that even at 1920x1080 buttons are irrealistically small. And i plan to use a linux distro on 2k display, maybe even 4k. Propably there is a way to make them bigger but idk. And i'm considering Garuda, or maybe Bazzite as a secondary option, because these are preconfigured for gaming out of the box and i really don't know what to tweak on a vanilla distro to make it game-ready. And Garuda is also very loud about their btrfs implementation with zstd backups (ik a lot about compression algorythms, can even use some of them on paper to manually compress data like a lunatic, and zstd is a very decent algorythm, especially if we measure compression/time ratio). Slowroll actually sounds good because my custom rom is set to major releases every second week (maintainer is Tejas Singh, you propably heard about him, he is a prominent figure in the custom rom genre). And on linux, i should be able to edit custom shortcuts, macros and stuff, right? Also, i tried Tumbleweed in vm for a week and it had a little learning curve but i took it very well, only had one issue when i couldn't install anything because the same package conflicted with an another from a different repo and stuff, but a simple reboot solved it.
There's a slider to apply a global scale multiplier in the System Settings under "Display & Monitor". So, if you set it to 200%, everything will be twice as big.
As for making a distro gaming-ready, honestly I think that's a bit overpronounced on the webpages of Bazzite and Garuda. It's one of their distinguishing features, so that's what they'll talk about, but I'd be surprised if we're talking 5 FPS more compared to a general purpose distro.
They generally use the same software and both of them are tuned for performance, with only a slightly different focus when they'll perform the most optimal.
Yeah, I don't know what concrete difference zstd makes. The Arch Wiki (great resource, generally applicable independent of distro) tells me that compression may speed up some workloads while slowing down others: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs#Compression
Maybe Garuda found out that it mostly helps with gaming when openSUSE decided to not make use of it, because openSUSE is more general-purpose.
But yeah, I don't know, if you're feeling Garuda, then go for it. At this point, you could tell me that you merely like the theme of Garuda better and I'd support that decision, because what I've read about it does sound reasonable, and it sounds like you'll be fine either way.
Not entirely sure what you mean by macros, but: Yes.
The whole OS is built from the ground up to be scriptable and configurable. It's very likely better than you can imagine.
