I’m dangerously close to moving my gaming pc to Linux. What’s the consensus for the best distro for gaming?
I’m comfortable enough with *nix, as my daily is MacOS and I have a home lab/server.
I’ll take a risk and say Fedora KDE Plasma flavor. Rolling release so highly current drivers, and it’s done a great job with my games.
It’s what I run on my laptop and gaming mini-pc’s and everything runs great.
Thats what I use. No real complaints.
I second this. I use GNOME with extensions instead of KDE, but that's just personal preference.
I used Pop_OS! for about a year before moving to Fedora. I got a new AMD video card and needed the latest kernel drivers. Fedora has the rolling release model that got me what I needed, and since it's one of the "big 3" upstream distros, I know it's reliable.
