Thank you for the detailed info. I dont think I can consciously curse her to only flatpacks, so I'll check out CachyOS. One thing thats for sure is all of them sound like better options than windows.
Regardless of CachyOS or Bazzite. Distro shelf works very well as it gives you the option to export applications installed in the container into the KDE interface. Its how I run Brave Origin all the time. With it you can essentially install any app from any Linux OS without cluttering your host OS. You also have the advantage of getting them directly from the developer repos regardless of the packaging method they prefer. While I appreciate the work done by the AUR community, I prefer getting the software directly from the developer where I can.
The containers only run when you use the app and only add about 0.5 seconds to first time startup as the container starts.
