What was the issue with NetworkManager? Right now, everything is working fine on my machine.

It usually doesn’t matter which distribution you use for gaming. Most of major ones are perfectly fitted for gaming. I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed and there is no difference to e.g. Arch or Ubuntu when it comes to gaming.

Nice. My next Laptop will be a MNT Reform, but if the performance of the Schenker/Tuxedo ARM laptop is right I wouldn’t be averse to buying one as well.
