  • Not sure this is the answer, but going to throw my two cents. If you try and it works let us know.

    When I got back into linux a couple years ago I hopped through all of the distros you mentioned. The last one being KDE Neon. When I first found it I absolutely loved it. Decided that was going to be my main distro and started migrating all my systems which is a couple laptops, gaming desktop, and mini PC.

    Over time I found that I was having minor, but consistent hardware issues. Similar to yours, freezing, and other gpu issues. It was most apparent on systems that had newer hardware. Looking at the specs for your mini PC it seems a bit older than what I have so again, not sure this applies to you, but I found my saving grace in Fedora. My issue specifically was the older kernel Neon uses not interacting well with my newer hardware and in some cases not having access to some hardware features. Fedora had a KDE spin otherwise I wouldn’t have done it. It has been my daily driver on all systems since.

    TL;DR: Try Feodra KDE Spin or any distro that ships with a more up to date kernel

    Proton is AMAZING! My issue was the window manager because I have dual monitors with different refresh rates I could just never get it to work right.

    The other thing I ran into was that I couldn’t find anything that worked quite as well as Voicemeeter.

    So until I get those two things figured out my gaming rig is still on Windows. I am amazed at how far we’ve come though. Even my work applications are compatible with linux now.

    I love plasma and now daily driving it for every system except games… Do agree I wish they’d make the splash screen more attractive, but like you said can kinda change it however you want so I just deal. Not a huge fan of the very pink lockscreen and I did change that. Once in a while it doesn’t catch the change and I end up with the default again for a session.
