    Do you have any advice on running arch as main system? Wanted to try it cus of newer packages, but I really don’t want to upkeep it a lot. Is it easier nowadays?

        I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about fedora. Does it have up-to-date packages like arch? I also have an Nvidia card, does fedora have proprietary drivers available?

          Yup, and they’re very easy to setup

          It’s pretty stable too

          If your Nvidia drivers do break, just uninstal and reinstall them (reinstalling isn’t enough, you have to uninstall and install them again)

              if you game a lot, you can also take a look into nobara, which comes with a lot of gaming stuff out of the box, like nvidia drivers, steam, discord and so on. it’s based on fedora, the differences in operating it are minimal :-)

      I use Ansible. Just have to be careful with the playbooks, so you won’t end up with a bricked system.

      I run the playbooks once a week from one of the systems and takes care of them. In my case quite a number of them are always online (raspberry pi), so that’s convenient.

      That has worked pretty well.
