I was forced into using SteamOS because my puter broked. Can i just install it on my desktop after it's fixed? Can i make a regular Linux as plug-and-play as steamos? (hexbear.net)

Experimentation is good, CachyOS allows for using the AUR for any sort of package you'd need vs. needing to containerize everything on bazzite. The multi-monitor setup and flickering could be a KDE-specific bug.

Unfortunately you still have to read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plex

negative they can't make me use GNOME, I've been using Plasma for 20 years .

Accept your GNOME masters, they know best friend-visitor-3 goblin-dont-care

But if you have a Nvidia GPU then it's probably that (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA). I had an Nvidia GPU and that monstrosity would completely fry my display after a suspend that I would have to restart my computer and Nshittia has not fixed it in 4 years.

Oh yeah, it's all about nshittia for me. Unfortunately I have a 4070Ti and like to use DLSS4 to play games at 4k60 with all the rtx bullshit, my wife has a 1080

I think Gnome is really pretty and minimalistic, it feels like a great laptop DE to me. But I kinda treat my desktop like a workstation when I'm not gaming and I really like the KDE Human Interface Guidelines. They just work really nice for my brain, so apps feel a lot more intuitive to use than GTK apps tend to.

Material Design 1 and 2 also really worked nice for my brain, I miss when it was prevalent. Play Music was so much nicer to use and look at than Spotify is.
