How to setup Snapper

How do you guys setup snapper? Any specific partition layout or is the default Fedora one fine? I rely on my computer working as expected (not giving me a black screen after an update) and Fedora is the ultimate sweet spot except for Nvidia, thus why I need snapper, I'm currently on Kubuntu but lsblk being so polluted with loops and the kubuntu-desktop metapackage not letting me debloat properly without a huge headache is so annoying, also I feel like apt is archaic when compared to dnf

Edit: forgot to include version, it's 44 KDE

Laggy mouse/overview animations

I noticed that on GNOME, after boot, when opening an app or while running a somewhat heavy app, the mouse tend to skip frames, feel like it's "low framerate", or freeze for like half a second, also, under the same conditions, clicking Super, scrolling workspaces/page on app list can sometimes have the same issues. After doing some research I think I found the answer, that being that Wayland is responsible for drawing EVERYTHING on the screen, which can create a traffic jam on the main thread, back when Xorg was the default, Xorg rendered the cursor, Mutter handled animations, so this didn't happen. This issue doesn't exist on KDE and other DE's, is there anything I can do to try to fix or make this better? Hardware is not the problem, it's no NASA computer but it's alright, it's an i7 10th gen, 16gb of RAM and an RTX2060
Again everything I said here is from my understanding from my own research, I can be wrong, if you know better please correct me

I need a distro that feels modern and just works

For context I had an issue in the past with Pop_OS! in the past where right when my university group was about to take a audit test, my laptop wouldn't recognize the projector, we ended up having to rush open all of our stuff on a colleague's laptop for it to work.

For me the perfect distro is something that just works, that I can trust won't give me problems like the one cited above, Ubuntu for instance is notorious for that, being field tested, but Snap sucks and I feel unsafe using a distro that even when using apt, I get a package that is not a system package, Mint solves that entirely, just works like Ubuntu, no snaps, but Cinnamon looks and feels too cheap (for me the ideal DE is KDE), stuff like Super+L not locking the computer and attention to detail graphically speaking is just non existent on my eyes.

Fedora gave me issues on the past with Nvidia, where the kernel updated and akmod failed to re-build the driver.

CachyOS game an awesome experience, super smooth, a modern DE with time-saving features like a clipboard and Wifi QR Codes, I also love pacman and the AUR, it saves me so much time when I need to find and install software, but the Arch background gives me anxiety about maybe having issues like the one I described on the first paragraph, though they never happened, I didn't yet been on a pressure situation with Cachy running so I can't say for sure it won't fail me when I need it.

When looking at distros, I found that probably TuxedoOS would be perfect, but well I don't have Tuxedo hardware so...

I am a Linux daily driver for years, I can debug things and make them work, I am familiar with apt, dnf, pacman, even portage, distro not being beginner friendly is not a problem for me, my only issue is not working when expected, again I don't mean that as "update broke my system", that won't bother me, what I just can't afford is having unpredictable problems like the one I described, maybe it's a projector, maybe it's bluetooth, maybe it's a printer, who knows, just the things that are expected to work but don't.

Edit: forgot to mention that my laptop has an NVIDIA RTX 2060, also thanks for any help in advance!!
