Proton is just a downstream Modded Wine. Valve world need to rewire Gamescope to use Pure Wayland and XWayland as some older Games, Etc may not work without XWayland.

Bcachefs as root is going to be sweet.

1 to 2 years is what the Nouveau Dev's said, if you want a Driver that just works.

Why i said or admin's

Try Fedora I have been using "Fedora 38 Budgie" with a AMD Ryzen 5 7530U it has been great about 12-15 watts playing music, and web browsing. it is around 40 watts with GtkStressTesting.

Newer Kernels have power saving features also stuff H264 etc.

not really wireguard hits ARM CPU's hard. you can also get n95/n100 mini PC's as well for around the price of a Orange Pi 5 and use Intel's awesome encoder for jellyfin.

Using Mate, Variable refresh rate VRR, Wayland for Multi Monitor as Xorg is 99% Broken with Multi Monitor, and HDR/Color Profiles.

Mate i had far less issues with it.

A cheap 4k Android TV stick is much better or a $100 Intel n100 PC.

Some of the newer Samsung Drives have bad firmware.

LMDE is 100% using Debian packages for the core OS if you want a newer Thunderbird go to flathub.

edit.

You can do dumb stuff with Rust as well.

Mate has some Wayland support just the development died down.

I used the Beta it was nice as Debian has firmware out of the box now and LMDE has Debian backports setup out of the box.

just install Cockpit with Debian, and headless is better as the GUI is a security vulnerability
