N.E.P.T.R

Yeah, I already understood that. I just thought the comment above was saying it already had ARM emulation, but it was bad or something. I just misunderstood what the above comment was saying.

IIRC, it is a current limitation of rpm-ostree, which results in an ISO that is nearly double in size.

Pretty sure Waydroid uses the x86 image of LineageOS, cus last time I used it (like a year or more ago) I had to get x86 version of APKs I wanted to install.

I moved an older relative to Mint and I regret it. Weird lagging and display server crashes sometimes, probably because of X11. Plus it’s release cycle is very slow, so old packages. Ubuntu is far from my favorite distro, but at least it uses a DE with first class Wayland support.

Here are my recommendations from last time I saw this question asked: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/17912220

I agree with PrivacyGuides on why to avoid Libre Kernels

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/linux-overview/#choosing-your-distribution

Linux-libre kernel and “Libre” distributions

We recommend against using the Linux-libre kernel, since it removes security mitigations and suppresses kernel warnings about vulnerable microcode.

AND

Proprietary Firmware (Microcode Updates)

Some Linux distributions (such as Linux-libre-based or DIY distros) don’t come with the proprietary microcode updates which patch critical security vulnerabilities. Some notable examples of these vulnerabilities include Spectre, Meltdown, SSB, Foreshadow, MDS, SWAPGS, and other hardware vulnerabilities.

We highly recommend that you install microcode updates, as they contain important security patches for the CPU which can not be fully mitigated in software alone. Fedora and openSUSE both apply microcode updates by default.

You can think yhat Wayland adoption was artificial, bit X.Org is unmaintained software and no developers are picking up reigns of X11. X is dead.

openSUSE Slowroll and Secureblue are my favorites ATM. Slowroll for gaming, Secureblue for mobile device. Both are hardened for security because that matters to me.
