I like Reborn OS. It’s like Manjaro but more user customisable.

Give reborn os a go. It’s like Garuda but you can customize how you want with a multitude of options with the installer. It’s what I’m using and I think it would fit your needs and wants.

I’ve been using RebornOS, which is an arch based distro. I think it fits what you want perfectly. It’s a rolling release and has heaps of customisability and nothing is forced on you.

I had issues when I tried Zorin. I still think Mint is probably the best for a new user.

You can buy them from Kogan. I personally got my 64gb deck pre-owned.

I’ve run both fitgirl and dodi windows repacks on Linux, it’s easy. Install protonUp-Qt and add proton-ge. Add the package installer to steam and run with proton-ge. Then run the game .exe with proton-ge once installed. If the game needs any dependencies add them using proton tricks. Also if you’re running the game installer on a steam deck make sure you press the limit to 2gb of ram option.

If you’re downloading games on 1337x go with Dodi and Fitgirl. They are the most reliable options. Their original sites are the best choice tho.

I’m playing through Far Cry 6, Hogwarts Legacy and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands on the Deck from repacks rn and I’m having no issues.
