Same over here :)

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 -> Fedora Workstation -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS

You can still get the Retroarch Citra core if that works for you.

I’m a dev, but not a game dev, and I think that open source games that are popular are more likely to stay around, even if the original dev team stops working on it as it can be forked, which is pretty awesome for longevity. Also other “real” open source games: osu! and Veloren.

And all the fears you hold so dear

Have you tried Open Tablet Driver (if your tablet is supported)? I use it on Wayland and it works perfectly for me, but I’m not an artist and I only use it to play osu!.

Steam DB is useful for steam related stuff.

Nice taste in music, also what music player is that?

You could try LibreWolf.

By highly configurable, I meant that you can configure it exactly to your needs, in the same way that you can with Arch.

I use NixOS for University and would highly recommend it if you want a highly configurable system that’s declarative, however, NixOS doesn’t have great documentation for certain features and usually does things differently, so you’ll have to learn the Nix way of doing things. On the plus side, I’ve never been unable to fix my OS when it broke, you simply rollback, or if there isn’t a suitable rollback, you can plug in a live usb and set the system to use a specific commit (can’t remember the exact command for this and that’s presuming you store your config with git). Also according to these statistics nixpkgs has more packages than the AUR.
