I'm also on NVIDIA, I tried the Plasma 6 Alpha last night (on KDE neon unstable) and to my utter shock, Wayland was pretty goddamn close to flawless.
Have you ever considered going outside?
It has the brand recognition of being "the" Linux distro, even though it doesn't deserve that title these days (if it ever did at all).
Damn, I have one of these that I use a lot for work, it's been pretty reliable so far, but this makes me think I should get something else to replace it...
"Bravephobes"
The biggest advice I can give is to start with something like, as has been mentioned, Linux Mint, but also, don't buy into the idea that you eventually need to move to a more "advanced" distro. If Mint, or wherever you wind up, works for you, and you have no compelling reason to switch, then don't. All Linux is Linux, so to speak, the only things that distinguish distros are packages/package managers, default settings/configurations, and pre-installed programs. There's nothing preventing you from eventually becoming a power-user on a "noob-friendly" distro, if that's something you desire in the first place.
"First" and "Second" test of what? What were you doing during the test? 90.6 of what unit of measurement? Etc.
Icons in Plasma Styles
In Plasma 5, the icons shown in various parts of Plasma widgets (but not apps) can come from one of two places: the active icon theme, or the active Plasma style. How do you the user know which icons come from which place? You can’t, not easily. What can you do if you apply a Plasma style and it includes weird icons that make your Plasma widgets look visually inconsistent with the rest of your system–but only partially? Nothing!
[...]
For Plasma 6, we’re removing this questionable feature, and icons in Plasma widgets will always come from the systemwide icon theme. Much simpler, much more user-comprehensible, much better visual results 99% of the time.
I've tried to give Plasma a fair shot a few times, but, among other issues, I'm not a fan of Breeze and I found the theming functionality overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Mainly I could never figure out which themes certain elements were attached to. This is a big example and I'm glad to see them changing it.
Another +1 for Photopea from me. I had been on-and-off wrestling with Wine to get Photoshop to run since I had switched to Linux, but since discovering Photopea I haven't felt the need to bother with that. In addition to the website version, if you aren't religiously anti-Electron, there's a desktop app for it on Flathub.
What, you don't see why a Twitter-esque app would need access to your Health and Fitness data?
