I was hoping someone could give a recommendation for a noob friendly distro that works well on my laptop, an HP Envy x360 Convertible 15m-es0xxx, i7 16 GB RAM. Thanks for your help and I apologize if these questions aren’t allowed here

    Well often the answer is just to layer stuff. It is not true that containers fix everything, and rpm-ostree is a tool that manages RPMs.

    rpm-ostree install steam \
    libvirt-daemon-driver-network \
    libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev \
    libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu \
    libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-core \
    qemu-audio-spice \
    qemu-char-spice \
    qemu-device-display-qxl \
    qemu-device-display-virtio-gpu \
    qemu-device-display-virtio-vga \
    qemu-device-usb-redirect \
    qemu-system-x86-core
    

    After reboot

    systemctl --now enable virtnetworkd.service
    systemctl --now enable virtqemud.service
    

    Source

      Thanks for your input, but i cannot remember the exact error. But it would say it cannot install steam because of layering.

      See we had auroa layered on bazzite, and for some reaaon steam wouldnt install because it got added then removed by layers.

      We had the same problem with firefox, another friend needed non-flatpak firefox for a cac card reader and there were drivers available but didnt work with flatpak. And when we tried to install firefox via rpm os-tree it just failed in the same way
