On my work PC i have windows 11 which is a mess and keeps getting worse. I installed a Debian VM on it to have at least some freedom and pleasant PC experience.
You could also install any de on top of debian(for example cinnamon if you liked mint or KDE). Even parallel if you like
Or if you don't want to uninstall and install a bunch of packages there are official flavors of debian https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/
Its not in Flathub. You need to download the Flatpak file from GitHub
I like syncthing to sync folders on my devices
There is a Flatpak as well which is working really well. I had some issues with the app image in the past
I switched from my AMD RX6750 to a RTX3070 Ti this year(since i got the Nvidia nearly for free). There are still issues with Nvidia(for example in Game Mode, HDR etc.) but its really usable. AMD on the other Hand is Plug and Play without thinkering in my experience
Manjaro wouldnt be my pick for new users, i would pick something stable like Fedora or even Fedora Silverblue(if you choose Silverblue you can change DE by rebasing)
One of my favorite creators, MichaelMJD made a Video about this.
If you want a cheap core XY i would go with sovol. I like there near stock Klipper so you will have no headaches updating the Software in the future.
If you want to use networkprinting with stock Firmware you need to use the Windows Orca Fork filled with Adds and send it through there Servers or did they change it?(s1)
