I stopped caring. When my GF bought a laptop I just installed Linux there and she has no issues using it. Linux is where I always wanted it to be. Now when I see someone using Windows I just think “you poor soul” to myself and move on.
My next Laptop will be Pangolin 15’ from System76. A bit on the expensive side, but the unlimited support and the right to repair make it worth it. Following the specs, so you can have a look.

Like is not PRO, because you can do some light gaming on it, but definitely a good machine in my opinion.
Somehow unrelated to what this video proposes, Linux has taught and gave me so many possibilities that I would never, ever be able to if I (still) were using Windows to this very day. In other words… thanks to Linux, I can now operate and have fun in a under 3W device.
I don’t know Blender, but from experience I found that Manjaro/arch is a bit too bleeding edge for production use. Especially when it comes to non-gaming graphics. I experienced a lot of problems with Manjaro and GPU acceleration in video editing suites. All got solved when I switched to Linux Mint.
Similarly Zorin OS 17 has been good to me. I really like their approach to the Gnome UI (i.e. they kept the newest tech, and removed the space wasting UI components.
The Ubuntu based distros typically have fewer bugs as they typically have an older base.
Fedora is also a decent middle ground.
I would suggest logging a ticket or forum post with Blender on this. It could be a blender bug or a graphics bug, but they would be the best people to advise.
In the cold and desolation; the mad wizard had been eeking out his existence letting the wild know about the horrors that awaited them in Redmondland.
But few listened
Then slowly the kings of Redmondland began to become more crazed in their power; wanting more and more from their subjects. Until a few, a small band of subjects took off their blinders and released the kingdom had spread so far that the mad wizard Linus was in their midst.
They stopped and listened to him
They grew tired of telling the king about everything they did and needing his permission to do anything in their own lives.
The mad wizard wasn’t crazy… he was just upset; it was the king who’d gone mad wanting to control his kingdom…
This is going to be unpopular, but you can easily compile both Python and R and configure them to your liking. For Python you can even use Anaconda3 and forget about installing most packages by yourself.
As for Julia, I usually just install the precompiled binary package.
So, any distribution you feel comfortable with will do.
Not to replace the great advice here but if you can use a distroless image (you likely need to make it yourself) then an attacker would have a hell of a time exploiting your system. When attackers find a weakness their goal is usually to gain access to a shell; distroless images don’t have one. By the time they figure this out (or hopefully before) you should’ve detected their presence.
Also, check your logs regularly. Prevention is good but it doesn’t replace monitoring.
Could it be that the manjaro repos have older versions of the HIP runtimes then what blender 4.0 is built for? Just a thought. Either way I would report it to the blender devs so they can fix it if it’s a bug
