Bazzite still has experimental support for NVidia GPUs, you should use Nobara HTPC Nvidia ISO
None of the Nvidia issues are because of Bazzite. They are all because of NVidia's drivers and those are the same everywhere. Nothing Nobara or anyone else but Nvidia can do. See https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/quirks/#nvidia-exclusive-issues
Windows works 🤷♂️
Not really on console-style hardware. That's why sales of these are so low.
If that's the intended use case of that notebook, Windows won't be any fun.
That said, I prefer not to touch Nividia with Linux myself after some trauma a couple of years ago.
I use Linux for my server, VMs and networking hardware but get burned every time I try to use it for my hobbies/gaming. There's always something that doesn't work unfortunately.
Usually NVidia drivers which is why I gave the heads up regarding them. SteamOS on compatible hardware is ready to use as much as it gets, definitively better than using Windows on any device that's not using keyboard and mouse as primary input. Again: That’s why sales of these are so low.
