I'm running Hyprland on my Intel laptop without any issues (but I'm doing not much multimedia on it). But on my Nvidia desktop, oh no. Screen recording is flakey (especially with multiple sources and audio recording to different channels) in OBS, video editing impossible due to heavy UI flickering, gaming has worse performance, watching YouTube has noticable lag.
For just opening your browser and doing non-multimedia stuff it's fine I guess.
So we can download the sources?
+1 for Forgejo. Runs butter smooth even on not so high-end machines. You can even mirror your GitHub repos.
Plus: It is not owned by a for-profit organization.
Since federation is broken a lot of instances I follow don’t have new posts. So no discussions for me.
I just installed it and never changed any permissions. Maybe you confuse it with AppImage?
You should try Linux Mint. It's a good distribution for new Linux users. It's easy to understand, has a good community with plenty of solutions for all types of problems and it is not too specific.
Gaming with Steam on Linux works without any major issues except when it comes to games that intentionally made run on Windows only due to their DRM. I suggest using the Flatpak variant of Steam so you won't clutter your system with too many weird dependencies.
You should switch to Forgejo, though. Gitea is owned and maintained by a for-profit corporation that recently decided that all non-Gitea copyright notices from all files have to be removed (which in the end allows relicensing it to a more restrictive license and even making it nonfree).
The corporation taking over Gitea from the community was also a hostile takeover.

I'm running a good old GTX 1080.
