Experienced here, did my time in Arch, learned a lot, perhaps even more than necessary, now retired to Fedora, then Bazzite and Aurora-dev. It just gets out of my way nicely. Something, something, Bell curve meme, plateau of enlightenment meme.
And I would absolutely recommend Arch to a technically competent gamer newcomer as the fastest way to get up to speed.
I (want to) like Ublue distros but for some reason i can’t get drag and drop in flatpak firefox and Thunderbird to work, how do you deal with this, if you don’t mind the stupid question :D
As in between them ? Not something I do enough to care about, and I use Zen and Betterbird, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, but I just selected something from Zen and dropped it into a new message in Betterbird without issue…KDE FWIW. There are still some rough edges with flatpak and wayland, but they’re mostly smoothed now. It’s usually permissions (KeepassXC and firefox is a bitch for example, but doable).
Yup, you can just do your Arch (or other distro-hopping) stuff in a distrobox if you want. Break it, blow it away and start fresh, uBlue don’t care… Switch DEs, that’s a one liner (although Gnome and KDE still don’t play well together, so use a fresh user). What’s not to love?

No i meant like uploading files somewhere or attaching stuff to Mails, when i have the folder already open.
Couldn’t yet find a really satisfying solution to that
Bazzite was my first attempt at really daily driving Linux. I ended up on Aurora dev and I don’t have any reasons to move to something different.
The U-Blue OSs really feel like the future to me.
Incredibly cool tech, but it just works.

Bluefin-dx user here. This is the way.
