Yup, that's why I suggested PopOS.

Those are wise words of caution. Anyone planning on getting or staying on PopOS should heed those words.
PopOS is, in my opinion, the easiest distro to use to get Nvidia cards working without a sweat (as long as you install the Nvidia ISO). I don't use PopOS anymore, been on Fedora now for almost 2 years, and have had 0 issues with my 3050 after installing the drivers, but it does take a bit of configuring to get there.
How so? Contrary to popular belief, that the 14-eyes countries can't do shit about civil-level stuff on other countries. Sure, but they can push and try fear mongering, but that's as far as they can go.
No government is stupid enough to go to war over some DMCA bullshit.
In my personal experience, it does seem like you've been lucky. Sure, most things will work when you install a second DE, but things have invariably broken within the hour after doing so.
When I Alt-tab it always goes to the apps open on the next desktop, and never shows the apps on the current desktop. So, say I have Vivaldi and KWrite on desktop 1, and Brave and LibreOffice Calc on desktop 2.
If I'm on desktop 1 on Vivaldi and Alt-tab, it'll move to Desktop 2 and move between Brave and Calc, and but will never show anything from Desktop 1, until I release the Alt key and Alt-tab again.
Now, for me it's even worse since I have 3 Desktops instead of 2.
I actually tweaked it to be more "gnome-like", but the desktops are a hot mess. At the end of the day, it's a matter of taste, and I'm a huge fan of Gnome's simplicity.
This is my issue with KDE. Virtual Desktops are too unnecessarily convoluted to use. Even Alt-Tabbing is a pain if you have anything over 1 single workspace. I decided to daily drive KDE for a few months to give it a good chance, because before I would usually just go back to Gnome after a few days. It's been 2 months now, and I don't think I can take much more of it.
Oh, I you just made me very happy. New toy, which will make my wife somewhat unhappy 🤣. Thanks so much.
And of course I'm going to RTFM, really appreciate the direct link. I just play with so much stuff already that I prefer to ask some key questions before I jump into a rabbit hole.
On the brighter side, you did delete windows.
This is the scariest comment I've read in this thread.
As you can probably tell by all the lovely comments about Snaps, that's the reason. Snaps is crap, by design.
