Great.

I thought NVK was going to support only Turing and onwards, since it relied on GSP firmware.

It is great. I have been using Linux for about three years and majority of that was with KDE Plasma and its Wayland session. Most of that time was with Arch and Fedora and it was all smooth sailing.

It was faster and smoother than GNOME Shell, Cinnamon or any other desktop I have tried.

It may have slightly more bugs compared to GNOME Shell due to sheer amount of features it has.

As others have mentioned, you might have a hardware issue that coincidentally pops up with Plasma.

That's very unfortunate. However, I'd like mention a few things about attempting a self-repair:

  • You don't need a heat gun to disassemble it. A simple Philips head screwdriver will do.
  • Batteries are dangerous regardless of their charge. You should be careful handling them even when they are fully discharged.

I disable the integrated GPU of my processor through the BIOS to avoid such issues. But it gets enabled by itself at each BIOS update.

This is misinformation since both operating systems can gracefully and forcibly shut down processes.

Fedora version has been packaged by Fedora Linux developers, while the other is published by LibreOffice developers themselves. The former may be only slightly out of date. Choose whichever one you feel comfortable with.

Kind of. Atomic versions of Fedora are designed to be set it and forget it kind of distro. New releases can cause issues with third party packages.

  • dnf-automatic looks a like a package designed for non-Atomic versions of Fedora.
  • libreoffice is available as a flatpak. You should avoid layering packages as much as possible.
  • A VPN app makes sense to have layered. I assume it comes from a third-party repository added to /etc/yum.repos.d. It is possible this package does not support Fedora 42 yet. You can try removing it to see if the update succeeds.
  • rpmfusion is a repository providing packages that often cannot be pre-installed due to some legal reasons. Unless you need/installed a package from there, uninstall it.

Do you have any layered packages? Verify with

~$ rpm-ostree status

Flatpak applications run in a sandboxed environment with limited permissions. Steam, being a proprietary app, was never made with flatpak sandboxing in mind, so you need to poke holes in it's sandbox for it if you want it to see your files. Most people do not store their games in a separate location, so the default is pretty constrained.

Applications can have sandbox holes by default. Just checked Heroic's permissions and it can see flatpak Steam's directories. I don't know what might have went wrong for you.

What problems did you have? I have been using Steam and Heroic as flatpaks for a long time, and never had any issues.

That must Gear Lever, pre-installed. Pretty neat program.
