what is the best DE for my X260 with a 1080p screen?

depends on what you want it to do for you
so what do you want it to do?

whichever you like

I just want scaling to work
It looks like shit on both KDE and XFCE

Is Kisslinux any good?

what do you mean? I'm not sure

by default everything is really small, but if I scale up, text rendering looks like shit

can you post a screen cap of that rendering?

is there any Linux distro that provides automatic RAID setup during installation ?

first screencap is at 110%

this is at 100% but it's just a bit too small on the smaller screen

EndeavourOS or Artix, which one should I go with. Is it worth it to abandon systemd?

What would the difference between systemd and OpenRC be to your average user?
I want something that just werks

has anyone used xone with an xbox wireless adapter?
github.com/medusalix/xone

I run sudo xone-get-firmware.sh but it says the file doesn't exist

ok
so if you just set it to 100% and instead change the font size in the 'Appearance' settings then what happens? I think that might solve it.
you should give it some time to adjust and you might have to reopen your browser or restart your system for it to take full effect.

Artix is like Arch, it's a DIY
EndeavousOS is a just werks distro, they're not really comparable
If you want a just werks distro without systemd, check out MX Linux
If you want DIY without systemd, Artix is fine
>Is it worth it to abandon systemd?
If you have to ask, then no

had a fiddle around with font sizing and found something I like
only a little time and I'll get used to it

In the last thread, I was trying to solve an issue where my system wouldn't update because of conflicting nvidia-utils packages. I was able to fix that, but now it doesn't seem like my laptop is detecting the nvidia gpu at all.
My first thought is to do a full removal (pacman -Rcs nvidia-utils), then start from scratch so the dependencies are fixed, but the packages that would be removed are:
Packages (32) cblas-3.10.0-1 cuda-11.6.1-1 egl-wayland-2:1.1.9+r3+g582b2d3-1 eglexternalplatform-1.1-2 gobject-introspection-1.72.0-1 gwe-0.15.4-1 lib32-nvidia-utils-510.60.02-1 lib32-primus_vk-1.6.1-1 libdazzle-3.44.0-1 linux510-5.10.108-1 linux510-nvidia-510.60.02-1 linux515-nvidia-510.60.02-1 linux516-nvidia-510.60.02-1 nvidia-prime-1.0-4 nvtop-1.2.2-1 opencl-nvidia-510.60.02-1 primus_vk-1.6.1-1 python-beaker-1.11.0-8 python-cycler-0.11.0-1 python-fonttools-4.31.1-1 python-injector-0.19.0-1 python-kiwisolver-1.3.2-3 python-mako-1.1.6-3 python-matplotlib-3.5.1-2 python-numpy-1.22.3-1 python-peewee-3.14.10-1 python-py3nvml-0.2.7-1 python-rx-3.2.0-3 python-typing_extensions-4.1.0-1 python-xlib-0.31-3 qhull-2020.2-4 nvidia-utils-510.60.02-1

Is there another way or am I kinda fucked?

its an xwayland thing i believe.
One way to fix it would to be to run firefox in wayland mode (run it with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1).
If that doesn't work (there are major issues with xwayland and fractional scaling), just switch to the xorg plasma session. gtk apps dont really scale up on x (because fuck the devs) but with just 1.1 it should look fine, thats what im running rn and its alright.

Ok so running inxi -G shows that it /is/ detecting it, but prime-run, nvtop, and similar gpu-specific programs aren't functioning.

Oh, and I would've forgotten. If you're running on wayland don't forget to change gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled to true in about:config. Makes a night and day difference
