One of my previous jobs required we updated our personal phones and ticked a box in a document every month so that the company chat app was “on a secure environment/device”.
I normally keep my phone up to date, but my employer shouldn’t be telling me what to do with my private phone. I removed the company chat app since I didn’t want to comply with them controlling my personal devices.
After that they couldn’t reach me after hours. Great. After about 6 months they allowed me to use the chat app on my private phone again without insight or control over it. It may sound petty, but I think it’s an important distinction.
For gaming, Bazzite is the best, most hands off, set and forget distro I have tried. I would really recommend Bazzite.
Not sure if it runs Unreal Engine 5, but it has Lutris installed and configured by default, so if it is as other commenters claim, you should be good.
It also has Steam amd Heroic launcher pre-installed, so everything is just there ready to play.
