I don’t typically use flatpaks so I am way outside my depth here.
You also mentioned above that you’re using Arch, and while I personally love Arch and think it’s reputation is way overblown, for better or worse it is a fairly stripped back distro and isn’t going to have a bunch of edge-case stuff built in. Now, typically Mint does so with that issue persistent across them I am more inclined to think it isn’t going to be that wasy but you might try a Pop/OpenSuse/Fedora and see if anything they’re bundled with just magically solves the issue. I suspect a live image would be sufficient for testing that
Is it an Asus laptop, when I search those specs a lot of those populate? Those have some known issues and there is at least one dedicated site for them
Assuming no make sure you are allowing for proprietary repos, mostly those are for nvidia stuff but it can’t hurt to try. Then, I’d try switching to xorg and see if all of those persist. While wayland is a really solid piece of software, it’s still fairly young and has some compatibility issues that you might be inadvertently tangling up against.
Don’t rule out you could have multiple unrelated issues that are seemingly from the same source.
What are your hardware specs, are you running xorg or wayland? The video is kind of hard to see what you’re referencing beyond the screen tearing on desktop transition.
Can only speak from personal experience, sadly. Other than the self-inflicted kind (running Asahi on a MPB for example) I’ve had a more or less painless experience. Off the top I have about 9 devices running Linux (excluding Pis) and have used Linux almost exclusively for about 10 years.
I should note that bugs and the like aren’t unheard of, for example I had a friend who’s laptop refused to sleep properly - I just personally don’t have any horror stories.
Tl;dr - Use Mint, as for other bug complaints pics or gtfo
Running the mainline distros I’ve never encountered an installation that didn’t “just work”. I’ve thrown mint on basically every device people in the family have any no one has come back to me for any software breaking bugs.
The only bug I can remember messing me personally up was a few years ago when a bad grub update stopped booting my arch machine, but that was more me than the os’s fault. Which is more than people who got bricks from CrowdStrike can say.
If you can narrow down anything beyond “bugs” and “basically all distros” you don’t want help. There’s tens of thousands of distros and an infinite number of possible bugs.
I don’t know man, I run Linux on all my stuff and I am lazy as shit.
I run Arch on my desktop with a 3090 and xfce (forced xorg) and have had no issues.
I run Opensuse on my laptop that gets really great battery life and isn’t even listed in the Wikis. This is my primary work laptop
I dual boot Asahi on a MBP.
I agree with the sentiment of your post being doing go balls out on a work machine but it’s not nearly as bad or unstable as you make it sound
My vote is with the Rat and I refuse to elaborate.
Shame their AI question didn’t have a “my biggest concerns is companies chasing the AI buzzword with no tangible benefit”
I’ve not used BSD, but this is cracking me up because this reads like the “Linux Sucks back to Windows” threads from 10 years ago.
I won’t say never, but my company has these and the tags aren’t able to be centrally updated meaning it would require manual intervention to reprice those items at all locations (and incorrect pricing is grounds for shutdown in some states) furthermore our software only does a pricebook load once a day so I can’t see that in our near future. I’m inclined to believe Walmart execs may be regurgitating a sales pitch more than what they’re capable of doing. That being said never say never and out techno dystopian future will be upon us soon.
The 117HD? It works fine in Linux if you run Runelite, either via bolt or just the raw appimage

Probably the steam engine as far as actual innovation and all but my answer is air conditioning
If you can’t get out of it, get into it.
You seem to be missing the forest because of all the trees in your way. The statement to not use Manjaro has nothing to do with KDE or any other DE/WM and everything to do with the development of the OS.
I think I’d rather hear from the recipients.
