Ubuntu is Epic's own recommendation, but there is no guarantee some tool/version would require a specific library version that Canonical doesn't provide. Was a known issue with Unity and some SSL library.

The ancient version of Unity I am forced to do my ksp work in does in fact work on my gentoo install (despite only supporting some ancient ubuntu version), but it hard links to so many truly ancient gnome libraries it almost has me yearning for a flatpak, and that is truly horrifying.

I have been playing around with Bazzite and really surprised at how well it runs. I am running it in the steam deck mode and also have some of my games from other places running in the Lutris and Heroic game apps pretty easily.

They also seem to update quite a lot as well and have good hand controller support for MS and PS types.

Might give this a go, been playing around with Pop! OS though like the look of this, and HDR/VRR support is appealing

So far, I have had no issues using either settings with my one PC display, but with my TV, I am just using the HDR support. Now the one thing I have found using it in the Steam Deck OS load, is it seems to be frame locked at 60 on both of my screens (PC, TV). Which for me is not an issue since I am running it on my TV that is only 60 frames and has no game mode.

It really is a good distro of Linux. To me, it's on the level of Mint but with a solid focus on gaming.
