I disagree about it being a huge effort. it's pretty easy to get started with a simple config and expand over time... and expansion is actually SUPER safe compared to some other distros because you always have a last good config to reload.
I started with a pretty simple Plasma desktop setup and slowly morphed my config over time to a Niri. There were some mistakes along the way, but I was never scared to try new stuff, the safety net is huge.
If you asked me who would I want developing the next Castlevania, the team that made dead cells wouldn’t have been at the top of the list, but they would have made the list.
I know the general sentiment with nvidia isn’t great right now and for the record I have cancelled my subscription, but I do want to say that for people who daily drive low-powered laptops, cloud gaming works pretty well and nvidia had a decent offering.
Their monthly time limits for paid users completely turned me off though so I am voting with my wallet. I spent some time getting gamescope working well on my desktop to not really need it anymore. I use Niri and gaming is a mixed bag without gamescope.
It’s definitely not 60FPS but it is a smooth 30 finally. Bigger deal in my opinion is it hits 30FPS without overly strong FSR as it was previously. The picture is more than just barely playable now.
