   @fell Pop!_OS but I don't use Nvidia graphics cards so can't confirm how well that works. System76's own hardware does, though, so odds of the install pathway working are reasonable.

     Let's make this a challenge, actually:

     Name any distro (except Mint) which lets you install Discord, Wine and the current NVIDIA driver without opening a terminal.

     I re-tested Fedora KDE and openSUSE Tumbleweed and I can't believe that Mint ist still the *only* distro that gets this right:

     - User installs Linux
     - User wants to install NVIDIA driver, Discord or Wine
     ⚠️ Not available in package manager
     - User learns about extra repositories¹
     - User is forced to use the terminal to customise and learn about package sources²

     ¹ This shouldn't even be a problem in the first place.
     ² This is simply unacceptable user experience.
