"people keep claiming this but it's not true!"
Fucking hell buddy, I'm running Mint 22, that was released in late July, that means I'm talking about my own experience from less than a month ago. Bazzite was shitting the bed for my GPU with no one having experienced the same thing (display signal cutting off whenever there was a load on the GPU) and on Mint my wifi usb adapter that is supposed to work out of the box as of kernel 6.2 (from February... Last year!) would drop connection after 5 minutes if it worked at all after waking from suspend.
In the end I had to install a homebrewed driver and block the one used by default. You know when I don't have to do any of that? When I install Windows. You know how you create safety issues? By getting people used to installing random stuff from the internet to get their computer working.
If it took you 7h to install Windows then honestly you were doing something wrong.
