Generally hardware compatibility should be identical across all distros, as most drivers are baked into the kernel

The exception being Nvidia drivers, you have to install those yourself pretty much everywhere

Lowest maintenance possible is probably gonna be bazzite as people are saying

The anticheat thing is a pain

No, I apparently missed that but

Nix is the best solution anyway imo

Personally I’ve been using outlook via pwa for months anyway

If they’re gonna put it in an electron container anyway you be may as well cut out the middleman and just use the web app Microsoft’s ones are actually quite good now

I thought outlook had been electron for a while

I’ve been using the outlook pwa on Linux for some time with no issues, maybe try that instead if it’s causing problems for you on windows?

Usually the reaction you’ll get trying to convince someone to use an operating system when they don’t know or care what an operating system is

I’d like to interject for a moment, what you’re referring to as Linux is actually gnu/linux/churbleyimyam

IIRC that’s the whole point of flatpak, snap and appimage

Docker can probably do it too, distrobox puts a useful wrapper on that

Nix does that kind of, nix packages aren’t isolated in that they can’t access resources on your system but all dependencies are stored in the nix store, hashed and isolated from eachother, and wiped when you collect garbage

And this is why you don’t update your system while in the middle of something you need it for
