From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So been trying out Garuda Linux for a while now (my first distro), but feel ready to try another distro. Therefore looking for a distro that suits my preferred requirements, anyone has any tips?

Uses Wayland
Supports flatpak
ButterFS format
KDE Plasma
"Good for gaming"

Note: Got nothing negative about Garuda, I just want to explore the options out there :)---

Kubuntu with the ubiquity installer will install onto btrfs. Flatpack is easy to add.

Add in system76 scheduler and an up to date kernel like xanmod and youve got 90% of what gaming distros will do.

If you're using flatpak you don't have to worry that the host system has old mesa.

This sort of setup is probably trivial to do in arch as well.
