Have you tried Gradience?

Yep

The tiling concept that was shown off some time ago for GNOME looks amazing

Ableton doesnt have a linux version right?

Im really very much just doing music production as a hobby, but even then ardour has some annoyances that make me look for an alternative

I genuinely dont see the reason for a windows tablet without a stylus. Note-taking is nice with a stylus but for just holding it and watching videos or browsing a surface is honestly too unwieldly and the windows touch interface is also not great.

You still have to be careful with multiplayer games in my experience though

Any advice for modding? I couldnt get mod organizer to work even close to reliably and enb is also really hit or miss

Vulkan isnt that new though so a 1660 should be fine, right?

The first time I tried ubuntu I did not install it because it felt like half of the screen space was used up by the sidebar, top bar and window decoration so yeah.

That little detail put me off of installing linux for like a year or so because I did not knowthat you can easily change stuff like that

That really depends on what kind of computer you are using and how fast your internet connection is. Also a desktop computer should be (for most people) as little maintanance work as possible and having long update/install times really stands in the way of that.

Its still amazing how easy it is to use, you can get a desktop environment running in a couple of minutes and apk is insanely fast and easy

Would have probably tried as my main PC distro if NVIDIA drivers would work on it :(

I feel like the design of this fits better with the gnome desktop than gnome system monitor
