I’m running silverblue, which works pretty well for a few years now. The only limitation I’ve encountered is getting non-packaged software to work, such as drivers and accompanying software for my racing wheel.

I had issues with the "enhanced" GOG version. Starting it requires an ancient openssl library which is no longer available on modern platforms. If you launch the game via terminal or check the logs Lutris provides you might see an error message similar to "openssl.1.0.0....so not found". If thats the case I can dig up more specific instructions to circumvent the issue which got me into the game. Just to clarify, installation worked, it was just the game necer started or rather instantly crashed.
Kind words
I've been running Silverblue for 2 years. Apart from the hiccups mostly at the beginning of that time, things have been running very smooth and I haven't had any issues worth mentioning. Things that have been and still are hassles are e.g. missing media codecs (ffmpeg and friends) and kernel configs & modules (e.g. drivers such as nvidia). I had to learn a few new tricks with flatpak but my major use case - Steam - runs as flawless as it does on other platforms.
When I try to subscribe to the gardening sub (is that what we still call them?), I get the following link:
[!gardening@ash1-lem-i1-u4829.vm.elestio.app](/c/gardening@ash1-lem-i1-u4829.vm.elestio.app)
This probably isn't the server name you want, probably needs just a configuration somewhere.
a git repository configured to ignore basically everything except the dotfiles. For my sway config I load configs from a symlinked folder, which points to a different config depending on the machine being configured.
