Nintendo has moved over 140 million Switch consoles. The Switch 2 might become more, or less successful, but let’s just conservatively assume they’ll only sell half as many this time around.

Last time I checked, the entire Deck-like category amounted to some seven-digit number of sold devices. The idea that anyone targeting that level of performance is going to skip the Switch 2… is wildly unrealistic.

You could always try NixOS.

Arch may not be particularly easy to use, but it’s a simple system, in that you can build a mental model of your entire setup with a fraction of the effort and time that you’d need to expend with other systems. It gives you the standard Linux experience without fuss, or handholding.

Nix, however, gives you several capabilities that other systems won’t, but you’re paying for that through its learning curve.
