Are you me? I have a very similar ASUS with similar hw and it’s rocking MX 32bit, if you want more cutting edge stuff, you can switch to 32bit Void (xbps is blazing fast, but the docs aren’t Arch-wiki-quality)

I think you don’t need any special software, the linux kernel recognizes DS4 OOTB as a game controller, I tried it with Flycast (standalone, not libretro’s) and it was just plug and play

Red Hat recently blocked my country from accessing Fedora (both site and repos), while I could use a VPN (which would fucking suck, I’d have to keep it on the entire time I’m upgrading) but fuck them, I moved to Arch.

This is just horrible, fuck big tech and their services

I’m pretty sure it will be supported for more than a couple of years, my 930m (not even mx) is still receiving the latest driver updates

One of the biggest things I have built was a experimental 3D physics engine, it did require some memory allocation optimizations, I built a lot of stuff I cannot really list them all in here, An honorable mention would be an FPS game from scratch without a game engine.

can’t update

Yeah, that’s the problem, if your hardware can run the latest software, it should be able to update to the latest software

I’m starting to suspect my HDD failing at this point, so many weird bugs lately

Yes I have polkit installed

Executing startplasma-wayland returns the following:

startplasmacompositor: Could not start D-Bus, Can you call qdbus?

I don’t have an excutable/command named qdbus

Yes I do

Yes everything in TTY works as intended, I can login as my user account and sudo works as it should
