Oh yeah? I tried Silverblue a couple years ago, and the Nvidia driver stopped working after a motherboard swap. I tried Kinoite but KDE Plasma's subpixel antialiasing looks terrible on HiDPI displays. Maybe that's some of the "convenience and polish" that you just have to sacrifice in order to use FOSS, but I could also just use software that's properly polished and not care whether it is FOSS or not.
And no, I'm not rebuilding my computer for linux, you would not be the first person to point out that I should replace my Nvidia GPU with an AMD one.
I will note though that GNOME is one of the nicest DEs I've ever used, at least back when graphics acceleration worked. Trackpads finally seem to be a first-class citizen, something Apple has already been doing for almost two decades (and, in fact, it's an Apple trackpad that works quite well with it).

- Isognoviastoma 3y agoWas nvidia driver foss or proprietary?
- LoganDark 3y agoI think Silverblue comes preconfigured with the proprietary one, but I don't know how to check and also don't think it's possible to change it, since it's an immutable system. It worked fine until that happened and basically made it unusable since I don't have an iGPU. Maybe I'll try some other Fedora, or just go back to X11 on Arch, which worked well enough.
