Nobara and pikaOS also both good options. I use CachyOs on my main PC and nobara on my htpc and have had a very pleasant time with the distros and their communities. Just gotta leave windows at the door and be open to learning a new way of doing things. Best of luck OP

and browser I love zen browser and have Vivaldi as my chromium browser of choice when some niche task needs it

I already wasn’t buying their games. There’s no need to further convince me

Unfortunately our corporations run our government so good luck. Any attempt to fight back by the EU will be met with them threatening to stop selling them phones or tariffs or other forms of stupidity. I hate this timeline
