1. shrug that hasn't been my experience. You also mentioned blue screens in another comment, but I've only seen one blue screen in the last decade and that one was my fault (RAM timings too tight; Surprised it lasted long enough to run a benchmark).
2. Like I told the other guy: "Yeah I'll just trade in my RTX 3090 for something that has half the performance and doesn't support tensorflow"
4. More fragmentation? If the most popular distro is a joke, why would I try something even more unstable (rolling release)?
6. Flatpak and snap are definitely progress. When more people can run identical binaries, I suspect a lot of these problems will go away. There will still be issues with administration (why are there so many ways to configure networking?), but yeah it's progress.
7. Why would I want "decent performance"? I want low latency (min 300fps rendering) while running at max quality
8. Then you've never measured it. Try listening to your own voice using software audio loopback. You'll find that the default audio latency is greater than internet latency within the US. That leads to people interrupting each other in video calls and callouts being late in co-op games
4. Stability has nothing to do with reliability. I had less issues with Arch Linux than with Ubuntu LTS and I hear people say the same thing. Even Windows 10 is a rolling release OS. If you want a ready to use stable OS there's Manjaro where repositories are purposefully a bit behind Arch.
7. Decent is 1080p@60Hz, what most people play. What you want is extreme performance. Honestly 300fps at 4K is just absurd even on Windows unless you're playing an old game as CPU becomes a bottleneck and why would you need it? Do you have a 300fps display?
8. Never measured it but trying pw-loopback I don't see how whatever it's can be a problem even for competitive gaming.
