Things that I really like about Zen:

• New tab URL input, it’s a dialog overlay
• Tabs opening as the first instead of the last in the sidebar
• the tab sidebar
• opening external links is magic, they open in an overlay with the option to expand in a tab. This is probably my favourite, because often I need to open a link from an email, do one thing, then go back to the email. This feature keeps me in the context of what I was doing.

I have an x360 running bazzite with gnome and it runs great.

I’m on bazzite which I believe is like a sibling or derivative of bluefin. All based on atomic fedora. Atomic means the base system is immutable, which should help with stability. As mentioned elsewhere, for bleeding edge you use flatpak or distrobox. Its been a pleasure to use, I’m very happy.

Correct. I used to use the same key combo to switch virtual desktops on my Ubuntu install way back when and when on Windows my muscle memory would result in screen rotating all the time

I actually had it break, it wouldn’t go past the login after an update. Turns out it was a gnome issue. It was something like an accessibility feature I had enabled crashed gnome. So, technically it was gnome and it would’ve happened in any distro.

Other than that, bazzite, its perfect.

I second this, have been using this as a daily driver on my laptop and PC, and I’m really enjoying it. Seems very very stable.

Yes, but haven’t tried yet.
