Valve released another smaller update for Proton Experimental, the constantly changing compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux platforms like the Steam Deck with SteamOS.
I wouldn’t recommend a random distro like the other user to be honest. Especially when you’re still kind of new to linux. Stick to the big ones; Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, maybe PopOS. Its just easier to find support if you do run into issues.
Fedora has been really stable for me, so I would recommend that personally. Nvidia drivers are easy enough to install on all of them I think.
You might want to try running windows in a virtual machine to run Photoshop, although performance might be lacking. Using a second GPU to pass through to the VM is an option if you’re up for that
I could potentially build a system with 2 GPU. That would be amazing.
Isn’t there like a hypervisor OS, where I could just run whatever whenever and attach whatever hardware to whichever? Then jump into that machine and use it ‘natively’? Or am I dreaming/overcomplicating? 😆
Also to be fair, I’m not ‘new’ to Linux. I feel comfortable enough there to get by. It’s more when I dig into drivers and what softwares/tools to use, everyone argues about which is better and it’s hard to sometimes know just what works.

Yeah that’s why I’d just pick one of the big ones, narrows the choice way down. Most smaller distros are just customised versions of the bigger ones anyways.
And yeah I don’t think that what you’re looking for really exists for a desktop, a virtual machine or dual boot is your best bet for now
