I will second Bazzite, with the additional note that I've needed to use Feral Gamemode to get rid of microstuttering and other minor performance issues. But, that's not really different from any other distro I've tried gaming on (Void, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Funtoo).

Hmm, Punk Crocs...
Since it's the only one I listen to anymore, I gotta say Castle Superbeast is my favorite.
The album Fisherman's Woman by Emiliana Torrini.
If you're willing to forgo the GUI installer requirement, take a look at Void Linux. Pretty slim base installation, very stable and conservative package updates for a rolling release. Excelllent package manager. Downside might be smaller package selection than Debian or Arch.
I'm currently using a pair of them for pour-over in a Hario V60. As others have mentioned, they do taste differently than paper filters. I rinse them thoroughly after each use, then hang just inside a sunny window to dry quickly. I also alternate each day between the two that I have, so that each one has an extra day to stay dry. Doing this while boiling them once a month or so keeps them well cleaned, no odors or odd tastes. However, you do end up using a decent amount of water over time to keep them clean; it's unclear if saving a year's worth (how long two CoffeeSocks last according to the manufacturer) of paper filters is worth the extra water consumption. I'm thinking of switching to paper myself, and keeping these as a backup.
Ah, I wasn't aware of the double-binding for gamepads, that's good to know. As a ~95% FA-off pilot (the feel of that flight model is like half the reason I play), I can sympathize.
You're welcome! I should also mention that AntiMicroX has been a lifesaver ever since I got a throttle and a stick that have more than 32 buttons. Because that's the limit that E:D can see on one device, I just use AMX to map the remaining buttons to keyboard keys.
I've played for years using various Thrustmaster and VKB sticks, throttles, and rudder pedals on Slackware, Funtoo, Void, and Tumbleweed. VR works ok too, though less performant post-Odyssey.
Yep, this is how I do it on my NAS, which is some RockPro64 board attached to WD Red spin drives. I have music, movies, game saves, documents, pics, etc. that equal around 1.5TB and I don't seem to get excess scanning when "watch files" is turned on.
