Fedora and Red Hat are innovating image-based operating systems. Universal Blue builds on that work.

It would take effort to port that work to Arch. Arch is also a rolling distro, not updating means not getting security updates. Fedora’s release cycle allows them to get more stability, they don’t have to be using the latest version.

I don’t get how a $600 could have such bad backlight bleed, but most laptops, not even high end ones, tend to be fine.

Gamescope is a compositor. It has many useful gaming features, but it doesn’t have a major performance advantage over desktops like Gnome, KDE, or tilers.

Please tell me Wayland is enabled, even if it’s not the default.

Adding non-Steam games has never worked well for me.

Another issue is that there is a database of tweaks Proton uses to make games work better, but I don’t think it uses it for non-Steam games.

Heroic with umu do use these tweaks.
