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.
Bazzite would be my suggestion. Throw the full install on the ssd then format the HDD for general storage. I’d be a little concerned about the 1060 3GB GPU though. Drivers will likely be fine, but the “10 series” have notoriously awful async compute and take a much larger penalty when running games/apps under proton/vulkan if I recall correctly.
Ok cheers that’s definitely worth a shot
Yeah, Bazzite had dedicated installers for NVdia GPUs. Considering that Neon is being left to die by KDE, it’s sensible to switch distributions anyway.
