Heh, the amerikkkan answer is simple: don’t let them rent next to you. They’ve accomplished it by ridiculous rent prices, charging inmates to be in jail (so they come out with debt), and shackling them to low paying jobs.

sometimes nvidia drivers are in a state that breaks display reinit on wake from sleep

Hmm, got a question for you about that. What did that appear as for you? Just a black screen and nothing else if it went to sleep?

I had a recently installed app fuck something in my settings so my display is going to sleep after 10 minutes, and when I wake it up I get a normal appearing lock screen with a login. If I login, the screen goes black and all I can see is the mouse cursor. I think about 1 time in 10 it will have no issues and I get back to whatever I’m doing.

I didn’t start with manjaro, but it was the only one that seemed to play nice with my system and programs out of the five or so I tried. I’ve never had an issue with it after 2 years, so… eh?

I see you already have a ton of recommendations, but I’ll throw in the Zowie/BenQ mice. I’ve had mine for I think 6-8 years and it’s still going strong. The only thing it doesn’t have is the left/right wheel function. It looks like they’ve gone a little heavy on the ‘gaming’ focus in their branding, but the designs haven’t changed much in the time since I bought mine.
