Try a live USB to see if you like the interface. I suggest KDE-plasma if your computer is decent. It’s easy to switch desktops but just be aware that they can make a huge difference in the actual experience of using it, since the desktop is the way you generally interact with the OS. HDR seems to be working fine on KDR, too (wasn’t implemented on cinnamon).
But from what I’ve heard, Bazzite is another solid choice, especially if you have an nvidia GPU. Though it’s immutable IIRC, which I don’t understand the full implications of but might be worth looking into to help make your decision.
You’re using Bazzite? I’ve been eyeing that, since it’s similar to the Steam OS, which is my first foray with the Deck.
No, I’m on Fedora 41, though 42 just came out.
