Im using a 3080, nobara and bazzite have worked flawlessly for me so far though im semi active in the bazzite community and a few people have varying issues with nvidia from what ive seen. Usually the issues are a little more edge case like game streaming but with a particular set up

They usually offer functionality thats not built in such as kill switches and split tunneling iirc

Thing is if you remain so inflexible then the company will simply not care. You’re never going to give them money again so they arent even gunna try to make better decisions. Good choices and options should be rewarded, to an extent
