Debian and Ubuntu have the most docs and guides If you know what you're doing nixos or ucore would be pretty unbreakable Paid for product I love Unraid
Trash guides is pretty good for getting started https://trash-guides.info/
Cool if you go BTRFS with Limine that will give them snapshots
You'd be wrong both times, have a good weekend though
Jump on the Discourse if possible. https://universal-blue.discourse.group/c/bazzite/5
Looking through those centos logs it's an Nividia firmware issue linked with their open-drivers
- Clear any layered packages
sudo rpm-ostree reset - Rebase to the non-open NVIDIA image
sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:stable
sudo reboot
Failing that and the fact you don't have a lot of time I would take the suggestions of just popping Mint, PopOS, CachyOS(you said no arch, but I've had good reliability), PikaOS small team Debian variant of the Linux gaming distros. Give your self a way to be able to jump remotely with their consent like Rustdesk, Tailsacle+Remmina or Teamviewer.
Other immutable/atomics Vanilla OS
NixOS (my current distro and if you're into making and maintaining for friends a great option as you can just make the gaming distro you want and distrubute it to them.)
GLF (French gaming distro based on Nix, I steal their configs for my gaming.nix :D)
I did in like 2007 how is that relevant to what I posted?
The only reason I went with plex was easy remote access. Now with the state on reverse proxies and tailscale tunnels we happily ditched it.
Like a lot of the others they definitely have the ability just not the will. Which is why I find the concept that they'll suddenly figure out how do funny
Well time to put the vegetables in the vegetable draw regardless of what's in there already
Do it if only to see Adobe suddenly figure out how Linux works
Why are Raccoons so peak meme
Indie games are what games always were before marketing became louder than the programmer's and artists.
