I use Nobara, moved to it from Neon myself after the debacle that was the rebase to 24.04. It’s Fedora based and you can get it with regular KDE or their own customized version. It’s Fedora with special mods made by GloriousEggroll (the dev behind Proton-GE) to improve performance mostly for gaming though the improvements can be of benefit to other applications as well. It was probably the most popular “gaming” distro until Bazzite became the hot new thing. Give it a try and see how it runs on your hardware.

While I agree that cats are fine outside (while supervised and/or staying within their own yard - a small harness and leash can do the job), cats are just as healthy and happy staying indoors. My own cat actually refuses to go outside despite enjoying looking out the window all the time. I tried taking him outside a couple times to get him some exercise and he absolutely hated it. Different cats enjoy different environments.
