i found it difficult to get a working guide for nvidia drivers

I am saddened to hear that. Did you try the guide found on RPM Fusion?

As another user said, opting for a derivative with built-in Nvidia drivers might be another option worth considering.

Thanks OP; now I need this 😜.

For the last year or so, I’ve been using Vimium and mouseless. For the latter, I’d probably use warpd or wl-kbptr instead if I could get them to work on Fedora Silverblue.

Best Distro

Needs dictate preferences. An objective assessment isn’t possible even on an individual level, as circumstances change over time. Linux Mint serves as a common starting point, with many users eventually ‘graduating’ to other distributions. The opposite is also true; many eventually return to low-maintenance distros like Linux Mint, preferring something that ‘just works’.

I’m very curious of which distro users loves the most that they have it on their daily hardware?

I daily drive secureblue.

Is there a specific android app you need?

Currently, there are already a couple I need beyond future-proofing.

Thanks for mentioning this! While I’ve had some experience with Waydroid in the past, this is completely new to me. Looking at it briefly, it seems to operate differently than Waydroid’s full Android emulation approach. Instead, it works as a translation layer (like Wine), making it both more efficient and potentially better integrated with Linux. Is this a correct assessment?

Despite having researched Android on Linux solutions before, I hadn’t come across this one. Typically, these discussions only mention Anbox or Waydroid.

Even though I’m a huge GNOME shill, I can’t help but admire the allure that KDE Plasma offers to those yearning for a traditional desktop experience and (above all) its wealth of customization options readily available by default; truly embodying the FOSS spirit of user choice and freedom.

Hopefully this change will enable KDE to become the best version of itself!

Thank you for chiming in and providing some much needed insight!

Is what you’ve described easy enough to accomplish for everyone with some Linux experience? Or do you think a guide of sorts is required?

Thank you for mentioning Jellyfin. However, unfortunately, I do need support for Android apps. That’s simply nonnegotiable. Mind you; I’m well aware of the capabilities of Jellyfin. But there are simply things it can’t do…
