Consider me a 5 year old when it comes to picking up this OS, I don't even know what exactly the difference of Linux Distros are, except that they have different colors and unique wallpapers. I have no idea what GNOME even is, or other UI, literally.

But since Windows 10 support is ending, and I don't have the cash yet to get an equivalent or better GPU of AMD instead, I want to know how I could transition on a level that I don't really feel the difference between Windows and Linux "that" much like having a start menu, taskbar icons, etc. I can learn the more intricate stuff, but it's Nvidia drivers that I keep hearing stories about just being difficult to install, and I get overwhelmed easily by technical looking steps, and abbreviations that I've never heard of, but am expected to know or figure out.

So... any guidance on making a smooth transition to Linux with a PC that has intel processor & nvidia GPU?

I recently switched to linux from windows and backed up most of my stuff. However, I did make a rar file of all my Minecraft worlds, around 300gb, and I forgot to move it to a second hard drive before installing CachyOS.

I already tried R-Linux and PhotoRec to try to recover the rar file or maybe even just a partial but as I understand it I am unlikely to find anything on the nvme drive?

The important stuff was already backed up or mirrored elsewhere but there are some old stuff I will miss having. Not worth paying a specialist but still open to spending a little bit of money if really needed.

Is there anything else I could try?

(running 5600g with 6600xt hellhound using bazzite exclusively in game mode)

Frame time was perfect at 16.7ms, wanted a little bit more performance and I flipped a switch on my GPU from silent to OC, since then my frame times have been jumping between 16.2 to 17.2, Even after switching back to the silent profile.

Happens on the simplest game even that the lowest resolution and settings.

In game V-Sync and system fps cap both enabled And every combination in between tried.

I’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for real now. I know my way around it decently, nothing crazy advanced but I can install stuff, mess with terminal, etc.

I want something that’s good for: gaming, streaming, maybe run some Windows apps with Bottles

Main thing is I want a desktop environment (like KDE or something that looks smooth/minimal) for regular use and gaming, but I also want to be able to switch to Hyperland when I’m just working or wanna mess around.

My specs:

Ryzen 7, RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, SSD

Distros I’ve looked at:

Bazzite (KDE + Hyperland) looks 🔥 and seems built for gaming

Nobara, kinda like Bazzite but maybe easier?

EndeavourOS, I like that it’s Arch-based but not sure if it’s too much setup

Anyone using Bazzite + Hyperland? Stable?

Is it better to have both DE + WM or just pick one?

OBS + NVENC on Wayland still good?

Yesterday while I was playing Zomboid with a friend my session kept freezing and I had to hard reset my system... It got so annoying after more than ten times even when only just opening the game to the point i quitted for the night. I added a swap partition and that partially fixed cuz now my system freezes but not forever.

Now I'm trying to join my friend's server and then the game randomly puts steam online and offline. I will give log output details once i boot up my computer again, for now I'll just go to sleep.
