I use KDE Neon on my laptop and I'd prefer to have KDE as a DE on this one too (if possible) but I don't mind a non Ubuntu base. Basically I'd just like to be able to play games on it without much hassle but I know how to paste commands into the terminal if the need arises.

Grab the Pop! OS nvidia image and you're in business.

I'm currently installing bazzite but if that gives me any trouble I think I'll try pop. I've just never really used gnome or its derivatives before. But it hardly matters for gaming anyway.

I ran into problems with bazzite recognizing that second hard drive where I wanted to store my game files. Had to jump through some hoops to make sure Steam had the correct path. Just FYI

The bazzite project website has an explicit "how-to" for extra drives. Worked for me with no issues, though I am definitely more experienced with tinkering with that kind of thing.

Wish I'd known this a month ago xD.
