Here’s hoping it’s in preparation for a 2nd season! The world needs more animated Kessoku Band!

Honestly anything with a non LTS release schedule will be fine. So long as you keep a relatively recent kernel and GPU drivers it pretty much doesn’t matter. You can go for a rolling release like Arch or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or a staged release like Fedora. Even Ubuntu or it’s derivatives are fine so long as you stick to the yearly versions and don’t have a particularly bleeding-edge hardware.
My only advice is stick to the popular stuff. This applies to both distros and desktop environments. Much easier to troubleshoot things and find help and they have more people using them, which usually means the experience is more polished and bugs get fixed faster.

You’re using an RDNA2 card so it’s possible your low FPS is caused by this issue. I would try this fix that was mentioned in the comments under that issue to see if your performance improves.

FYI the episode discussions on anime@lemmy.ml are automated by a bot (the same used on Reddit in fact) and us Kbin users can’t see bot posts, so it looks like there are none. I have high hopes that the next big Kbin update remedies this issue.

Yeah, it aired at the end of 2021. A pretty fun fluffy romance anime, as a fantasy enjoyer and a huge fun of SOL I liked it.

I miss this anime, still the best Slice of Life I watched and overall one of my absolute favourites. It’s been 2 years since Nonstop, might be time for a rewatch.

Using the open source driver with Nvidia is a bad idea, your card is locked at the minimum clock speed and it’s general quality is not comparable to the proprietary driver (this is purely because of Nvidia’s hostility to open source, not due to any inabilities of the developers of Nouvea.)
I’m gonna assume you are using the default desktop environment of Mint which is Cinnamon. Have you tried booting a different DE, or even better, a different distribution with something like Gnome or KDE to see if the issue persists?
