I think it would make sense to actually specify what you mean by nightmare and on what disto to make an argument. Many people have 30xx GPU and they all use the same driver too and if it works for them (same card, same driver) that means it might not be a NVIDIA issue but a distro/setup issue. Don’t expect a proper counter argument if you don’t make a proper argument. I use a laptop similar to OP’s question and the GPU is sleeping all the time because it uses Intel’s integrated GPU for generic tasks, dGPU only wakes up for Vulkan or CUDA tasks like gaming and AI. I don’t remember when was the last time NVIDIA broke the boot process but it was at least 5 years ago back when I was still using Arch and init.d and it was an Arch problem for pushing a kernel which was incompatible with NVIDIA driver and not specifying version compatibility. The GTX 2060 is supported by the opensource kernel driver so that cannot be an issue either anymore. On the other hand I also have a AMD card which does not support hardware acceleration on Fedora by default because of mesa and I have to swap packages to add support which breaks dnf sometimes. So should I hate AMD now?

Deepin is pretty popular

Some hashing algorithms are suspectible to long password denial of service so it’s recommended to limit the length of password but certainly not to 20 characters but to a more reasonable limit, like 100 characters or so.

Does it give alternative to sudo -e (sudoedit) too?

Just a bit of complaint: if you need to highlight how important it is to make a backup or set up automatic backups, tell the users how to do that or at least lead them to a page which explains how.

Sodium-ion batteries are already a thing and they look very promising. A few more years and we might not need precious metals for batteries anymore.

Not sure about the opi method but I installed an opensuse tw recently with same nvidia/ryzen config and everything works just fine.

Enabled nvidia and packman essentials in yast and replaced the system packages. That’s option 3 here.

If you are the one installing the distro, it probably doesn’t matter that you have to copy-paste some commands to install proprietary codes because it’s a one time thing. In my experience, the bigger problem usually is not the first time setup but the maintenance. In case of Fedora they would have to upgrade it every 6 months. That’s why I usually suggest LTS or something rolling but stabe distro like OpenSUSE Thumbleweed.
