Good to know that void worked out for you, but I'm using linux for ease of use, and arch is plenty easy to use for me after all these years, so I'm gonna stay here lol
And I hate appimages, flatpaks are much better (when paired with a good and fast app store, like Bazaar)
The Void install was relatively easy, though maybe because I used the XFCE edition as I wanted that anyway.
That said, I've used Arch for 7+ years and am still using it on my main machine just can't update. Give me a Polaris-or-better GPU and some faster internet and yeah it probably wouldn't be an issue. I probably still would prefer slower+more stable updates (and ideally not just a specific time-window) though.
The last time I tried to use Flatpak for Krita, it had to download the Flatpak-specific nVidia driver which is my issue when it comes to internet speed again.
Personally, I've had zero issues with nvidia drivers on arch, but I'm using a fairly recent gpu (3 years old rtx 6000), and for the flatpak issues, yeah that can be a bit more space (+time) used, but its a runtime that will be used by all future apps you'll download, so eh, tradeoff
